Review :
“This book is of great importance for experts dealing with mental health (psychiatrists, psychologist, neurologists, general practitioners…) … Instruments are presented in detail and are accompanied with research overviews with clear indication of both advantages and limitations. This last edition, enriched with new chapters, will for sure be as successful as the previous one.” (Anamarija Bogovíć, Alcoholism and Psychiatry Research, Vol. 54 (01), June, 2018) “This second edition of a very useful book presents an overview as well as practical advice about the use of cognitive screening instruments in outpatient and hospital settings. … This is a useful book with practical tools and strategiesfor the use of cognitive screening instruments in clinical settings. Any physicians or clinicians who deal with patients with potential cognitive impairments should be aware of the tests that are referenced in this superb book.” (Michael Joel Schrift, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2017)
