Cognitive Science and Clinical Disorders

This volume bridges the gap between current research in cognitive science and contemporary Clinical theory and practice. The book begins with a theoretical background to the intersection between cognitive and clinical science. It then focuses on cognitive science models and theories as applied to particular clinical disorders, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive, dissociative and conversion, personality, Alzheimer's diseases, and readying disability.
Designed for both cognitive scientists and clinicians, Cognitive Science and Clinical Disorders includes cutting-edge cognitive theory as well as clinical viewpoints.

"Timely... Written by experts... I highly recommend it to basic cognitive scientists, neuroscientists and all clinicians interested in the research findings which underpin their practice. Each chapter is relatively short and, therefore, very readable in spite of the wealth of theoretical and research information... I found the more theoretical chapters of Part 1 particularly useful in that they bring together in one place an abundance of up-to-date information that is not available in the usual clinical literature."
