Review

"With the publication of [this book] the discipline of pediatric neuropsychology is forever changed. Setting a new benchmark of scholarship in neuropsychology generally, and in child neuropsychology in particular, Dr. Baron's new book clearly is required reading for every member of the profession--from researcher to clinician--from beginning graduate student to senior mentor--child or adult oriented.
. . a major resource for all neuropsychologists. Its contribution to the profession in terms of both its scholarship and practical utility is priceless; its publication pushes the "bar" several notches higher." --Joel E. Morgan in Child Neuropsychology
" . . . well-organized and filled with practical information . . . The potential impact of this book on the field of child neuropsychology should not be underestimated. It provides the most comprehensive summary of child tests and normative data available to date and, as a bonus, describes best practices for child assessment in detail . . . The entire book is likely to become required reading for training in child neuropsychology." --PsycCRITIQUES
"This compendium provides an up-to-date summary of available norms for virtually every neuropsychological test we use, a Herculean effort. To have these data available in one source as opposed to hundreds of articles and bad photocopies is truly satisfying! Neuropsychological Evaluation of the Child will be a classic on the desks (not just in the bookshelves) of all neuropsychologists working with children as well as in our training programs." -Lynn J. Speedie, Ph.D., Annals of Neurology
". . . an excellently written book that is comprehensive, detailed, current, thoughtful, and an invaluable reference . . . a labor of love for Dr. Baron . . . sets the gold standard for clinically relevant manuals . . . should be on every clinical neuropsychologist's shelf . . . If you specialize in child/pediatric neuropsychology, purchase this text immediately . . ." --R.W. Butler in Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society
"It is comprehensive and practical and contains the information needed to make important decisions of what tests to give and to whom. It is a crucial book for the practicing neuropsychologist."--Doody's
"My impression is that all pediatric neuropsychologists will want to have this valuable resource on their shelves and that it is a must-have text for graduate students in clinical pediatric neuropsychology."--European Journal of Pediatric Neurology
