Christensen and Uzzell to write the foreword for this handbook. This handbook is the result of the most recent of a series of con ferences held in Copenhagen, Denmark, at five-year intervals over the past 15 years, under the guidance and leadership of Dr. Anne-Lise Christensen, and under the sponsorship of the Egmont Foundation, which must be acknowledged as well for its constant support of this in ternational effort. The participants in these conferences are all internationally renowned clinicians and sci entists. These experts represent not only the area of neuropsychology, but disciplines ranging from fundamental neurophysiology and neuroanatomy, to medical and financial perspectives on neurological injury and recovery. The participants have, to a significant extent, remained re markably constant over this period, and this has allowed increasing intimacy among them both professionally and personally. One felicitous result of this camaraderie has been that the con ferences have evolved with an increased focus on topics of the broadest interest across disci plines. One aspect of such a continuing dialogue across disciplines is that specific areas of mutual interest are explored in depth, allowing cross-fertilization of ideas to occur. For exam ple, the neuroplasticity and recovery concepts presented by Donald Stein (based upon his work and others) have provided not only a conceptual and physiological basis for the effects of neu ropsychological rehabilitation efforts in humans, but have also raised specific intriguing ques tions for clinicians, for instance, the suggestion that gender specific, and associated hormonal specific, differential recovery paths in animals have relevance to human clinical care. This handbook is derived from the papers and discussions held at the latest meeting in June, 1997. As such, it represents state-of-the-art updates on the various topics addressed. It is apparent that the science behind the contributions in this book has evolved from an earlier ba sic description of fundamentals (in previous editions), towards current, more elaborate, and for mally scientific discussions. More methodologically sound approaches have been developed and more population-based approaches and studies are represented herein. All of this is to be applauded. Yet, the area of neuropsychological rehabilitation (and affiliated neurorehabilita tion topics) obviously require much more of the same effort and analytical thinking reflected in this book. This handbook must, therefore, be seen as a progress report of this overall effort. It will undoubtedly raise as many questions for its readers as it answers. Certain obvious areas re main to be addressed. Very salient (given the general economic constraints emerging upon "health care" in general and being felt across international boundaries) is the need for better analyses and discussion of cost/benefit and cost/effectiveness issues of neuropsychological, as well as other neurorehabilitative technologies and methods. This deficiency certainly reflects not a lack of concern for this issue by the authors, but rather a reflection of the methodological ix X FOREWORD difficulty in performing such analyses. Therefore, one would hope that this process of five-year international revisits of neuropsychological issues, as well as an increasing focus on their eco nomic aspects, continues in the future. In summary, this handbook represents an excellent and valid international compendium of current thinking in what is a rapidly evolving area. D. Nathan Cope, MD. Paradigm Health Corporation Concord, California Preface Behavioral observations suggestive of brain functioning have always been made, but with ad vances in neuroscience and neuroimaging during the last decade, public interest as well as the number of neuropsychologists have both increased. As Professor Donald Stein, a neuroscien tist and author stated, "We have learned more about the brain in the last ten years than in the last ten centuries." Much of the effort in neuropsychology has been directed toward assessment, which is ben eficial in diagnosing the presence or absence of brain damage. With the appearance ofneuro imaging techniques, there has been less need for such diagnoses. Nevertheless, assessment still remains important in documenting and understanding functional losses, and in providing treat ment recommendations based on cognitive strengths and weaknesses. In addition to assessment, neuropsychological treatment has been evolving in response to an increasing need, so that time spent on assessment and treatment activities is equally divided for most clinical neuropsychol ogists. It is this treatment aspect of neuropsychology that we focus upon in this book. When we completed our first book on the topic of neuropsychological rehabilitation in 1988, interest in this area was present, but not like the explosion of interest and activity that now exists 11 years later as this volume is completed. At different times in different countries throughout the world, more and more neuropsychological rehabilitation is appearing, as knowledge accumulates from pioneering work, new developments, research, and clinical stud ies. We have much more to contribute than we did a decade ago. This volume contains chap ters from programs in Europe, the United States, and South America, covering topics such as neuroscience, acute and chronic brain injury, assessment for neuropsychological rehabilitation, treatment ideologies, and specific treatment programs. Due to the increased activity and interest in neuropsychological rehabilitation, it has been a challenge and a pleasure to edit chapters for the International Handbook of Neuropsycho logical Rehabilitation. We did not do this alone, but with the aid of our colleagues, whom we want to thank for their time and efforts exerted in writing chapters. We are thankful for the sup port of the Danish Egmont Foundation given to the Center for the Rehabilitation of Brain Injury (CRBI) at the University of Copenhagen, specifically for a conference on neuropsy chological rehabilitation in Copenhagen during June 1997, and for the editorial work in com pleting this book. We are specifically thankful to the individuals at the CRBI, and particularly to its secretary, Lise Lambek, a valuable collaborator throughout the editorial process. We hope this book will provide inspiration and direction to our colleagues, particularly to young neuropsychologists entering the field, who will continue to offer services to those with brain injuries who have benefited greatly in the past from this type of treatment.
