Produktbeschreibung

The brain injuries incurred by many soldiers during the First World War were the subject of much research by British and German psychologists and neurologists working in military hospitals. Walter Poppelreuter was one of the first to design and use precise experimental methods for neuropsychological assessment and analysis. Much of his practical advice on the management of patients is still of value.
