School Neuropsychology, Second Edition: A Practitioner's Handbook

Autor Margaret Semrud-Clikeman, Catherine A. Fiorello, James B. Hale
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 dec 2025

Bazându-ne pe datele furnizate de Guilford Press și pe cercetările recente din neuroștiințe, observăm în School Neuropsychology, Second Edition un instrument de lucru esențial pentru psihologul școlar modern. Această a doua ediție nu este doar o actualizare, ci o extindere semnificativă care abordează relația complexă dintre creier și comportament în context educațional. Autorii, conduși de Margaret Semrud-Clikeman, propun un cadru de evaluare a punctelor forte și a slăbiciunilor cognitive, facilitând trecerea de la diagnostic la intervenții personalizate.

Descoperim aici o structură riguroasă care ghidează cititorul prin procese neuropsihologice specifice dizabilităților de învățare (citit, matematică, scris), dar și prin spectrul tulburărilor de neurodezvoltare, precum ADHD și autism. Față de prima ediție, volumul introduce capitole critice despre tulburările genetice și impactul afecțiunilor medicale cronice asupra învățării, oferind o perspectivă tridimensională asupra funcționării cerebrale. Această abordare reprezintă o alternativă solidă la Handbook of School Neuropsychology de Rik Carl D'Amato pentru cursurile de psihologie educațională, având avantajul integrării unor protocoale de intervenție bazate pe date clinice recente și instrumente de lucru descărcabile.

Spre deosebire de lucrarea sa anterioară, Child Neuropsychology, unde accentul era pus pe fundamentele dezvoltării, în acest manual Margaret Semrud-Clikeman se concentrează pe aplicabilitatea practică în școală. Ritmul este unul tehnic, dar accesibil, orientat spre soluții, beneficiind de studii de caz care ancorează teoria în realitatea cabinetului școlar.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte practicienilor care doresc să depășească simpla testare psihometrică. Cititorul câștigă un model clar de interpretare a profilului neuropsihologic al elevului, esențial pentru fundamentarea planurilor de intervenție. Este o resursă indispensabilă pentru psihologii școlari care gestionează cazuri complexe de dizabilități de învățare, ADHD sau tulburări genetice, oferind instrumente concrete de lucru și un limbaj comun între neuroștiințe și pedagogie.


Despre autor

Margaret Semrud-Clikeman este un expert recunoscut la nivel internațional, cu un doctorat obținut la University of Georgia și stagii postdoctorale la Massachusetts General Hospital și Harvard Medical School. Cercetările sale, premiate de Orton Dyslexia Society, s-au concentrat pe morfologia cerebrală în ADHD și pe competențele sociale ale copiilor. În lucrările sale, precum Social Competence in Children, a explorat dimensiunile dezvoltării funcționale, expertiză pe care o transferă în School Neuropsychology, Second Edition pentru a ajuta specialiștii să înțeleagă substratul neurobiologic al comportamentului școlar.


Descriere scurtă

Now in a revised and expanded second edition reflecting key developments in understanding brain–behavior relationships, this accessible book helps school practitioners integrate neuropsychological principles into data-based decision making. The expert authors present a framework for comprehensively evaluating students' cognitive strengths and weaknesses to aid in developing individualized interventions. Chapters elucidate the neuropsychological processes involved in reading, math, and writing disabilities; neurodevelopmental and mental health disorders; and medical issues that may affect learning and behavior. In a convenient large-size format, the book includes concrete assessment and intervention guidance, case examples, "In-Depth" boxes, and reproducible and downloadable tools.

New to This Edition
  • Chapters on genetic disorders and chronic medical disorders.
  • An expanded three-dimensional understanding of brain networks and brain functioning.
  • Updated neuroscientific and school psychology research.
  • New and updated case studies.

Recenzii

“The second edition of this valuable text provides a well-organized approach to an area of training and practice that has become increasingly complex. It offers school psychologists and trainees a supportive framework to begin to understand the brain–behavior relationships that underlie typical and atypical development. The book is formatted so that information is easily referenced when new issues arise in the school setting.”--Rachel W. Robillard, PhD, private practice, Austin, Texas

“Little did my colleague and I know when we introduced the term ‘school neuropsychology’ over four decades ago that it would evolve into such a widely recognized and in-demand specialization. The second edition of this seminal work should be required reading for graduate students in school and clinical psychology, as well as seasoned practitioners. It provides a rich foundation for school-based practitioners seeking to expand their assessment and intervention repertoires. This book is unique in integrating current research with detailed clinical case studies that cut across the many neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and genetic disorders seen in children and adolescents.”--George W. Hynd, EdD, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus and former Director, Center for Clinical and Developmental Neuropsychology, The University of Georgia

“What I appreciate most about this book is its scientifically grounded and practical approach to child neuropsychological assessment and intervention. It guides practitioners through every step, from evaluation to planning effective strategies, with clear, real-world prompts. Rather than relying solely on test scores, the authors emphasize direct observation and the interpretation of objective results specific to each child. They stress the importance of integrating information from multiple sources, while also considering developmental, cultural, and contextual factors. Helpful boxed content and case studies serve to deepen understanding and connect theory to practice.”--Irene C. Mammarella, PhD, Department of Developmental and Social Psychology, University of Padova, Italy-
