Since the publication of the first edition of Neuropsychology of Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias more than 30 years ago, neuroscientists have made significant improvements in our understanding of the neurobiology, differential diagnoses, and interventions for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. Clinical interests also continue due to the worldwide increase in the aging population and the associated trauma experienced by families caring for individuals with dementing illnesses, and with healthcare professionals collaborating in their care. The initial chapters in this thoroughly updated and expanded second edition present the neurobiological bases of dementia and the role of anterograde memory impairment and other important aspects of mild cognitive impairment. These concepts are presented with the key neuropsychological functions and specific cognitive tests as related to differential diagnosis. Normal aging and clinical decision-making are also addressed. Following chapters differentiate Alzheimer's disease from other cognitive disorders, including neurodegenerative conditions, review neuropsychiatric manifestations and comorbidities with particular focus on depression and severe mental illness, and discuss risk and protective factors for dementia as well as potential treatments and prevention methods. The book concludes with recent pharmacological treatments, innovations in behavioral management, and ethical and legal considerations. This authoritative volume will be an indispensable guide and sourcebook for clinicians who face the considerable challenge of improving the quality of life of those affected with these devastating disorders.
