Description
Neglect is a syndrome in which patients fail to attend to or respond to contralesional stimuli or events. Neglect has traditionally been considered a disorder of spatial attention. This book discusses various topics on neglect including neglect as a disorder of representational updating; trauma of sexual abuse and the family; the relationship between neglect and other childhood adversities; dietary neglect and its influence on feeding; landmark recognition and mental route navigation disorders in patients with imagery neglect and perceptual neglect; the exploration of unilateral spatial neglect through the phenomenon of mirror agnosia and the psychobiological consequences of emotional neglect.
