in poor judgment, impaired insight, poor personal hygiene, and vulgar speech. This poorly characterizes the executive functions of the frontal lobes. Similar treatment is given to most subjects addressed in this book. Brevity may be forgiven if it occurs simultaneously with extensive documentation of primary or ancillary sources. The authors document sources infrequently, however, leaving the interested reader without direction for further research. This volume is appropriate for practitioners whose training has not prepared them sufficiently in neuroanatomy and neuropathology and whose practice demands no sophistication in these areas. It may also be appropriate for a beginning-level graduate psychology course which is designed to introduce students to the field of neuropsychology. Practicing neuropsychologists who require extensive information regarding neuroanatomy and neuropathology, however, would profit most from the pursuit of such knowledge in the great number of sources that are available elsewhere.
