This new second edition of these popular manuals has taken material that has been widely used in the United Kingdom and Europe and adapted it for North American readers. The information is solidly grounded in published research findings from around the world and on the authors’ clinical work as international experts on cognitive rehabilitation therapy.

  Part 1 explains the theoretical underpinnings for how to do CRT.
