Psychological Management of Stroke
This timely book offers a comprehensive, authoritative, evidence-based and practical guide to the psychological management of stroke. Chapters deal thoroughly with topics such as neuropsychological symptoms, screening for cognitive problems and cognitive rehabilitation, managing emotional problems, fear of falling, carers and prevention. The text offers a balance between research finding and reviews of evidence on the one hand and practical clinical suggestions with examples on the other. I expect that this book will be highly valued by those offering psychological services and support to stroke patients and their families, as well as those providing medical care in acute and rehabilitation settings. I would strongly recommend it.

“This comprehensive and inspirational book ensures psychological care equals the importance of physical interventions to maximise quality of life poststroke. It is relevant to occupational therapy stroke clinicians, researchers and students, as well as being a valuable asset to multidisciplinary stroke services at all stages of the patient journey.” (British Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1 December 2012) “Overall I found this a timely text that would be an excellent resource for anyone working in stroke services.” (The Psychologist, 1 January 2013) “I offer my congratulations to the authors and my thanks on behalf of psychologists, stroke survivors, and their families.” (Psyccritiques, 5 September 2012)
Psychological Management of Stroke presents a review and synthesis of the current theory and data relating to the assessment, treatment, and psychological aspects of stroke.
