A Neuropsychologist's Journal features case studies from the areas of neuropsychology as well as developmental, rehabilitation and medical psychology.

Dr. Judi Guedalia's interventional styles (or "Judi-isms," as she refers to them) have been distilled after close to forty years' experience in the field, and highlight the intersection between psychology and Judaism. The remarkable case studies described in A Neuropsychologist's Journal: Interventions and "Judi-isms" are coupled with useful advice that readers of all levels of interest can incorporate into their own lives.

Praise for A Neuropsychologist's Journal:

"Dr. Judith Guedalia has come out with a winner; stories that can be appreciated by the professional as well as the layman. Many of these stories originally appeared as articles by Judi, on the pages of The Jewish Press, including our introduction to Chaim K. Seeing the book in print is the culmination of a dream shared by many of her friends. Readers of this book will delight in her unique style...the name alone, Judi-isms, gives a glimpse of that...and the wealth of information it contains. Over the years Dr. Guedalia has worn 'many hats' but adding 'Author' to her long list of achievements is the 'crown' on top."

-Naomi Klass Mauer

Associate Publisher, The Jewish Press

"Dr. Judith Guedalia's A Neuropsychologist's Journal: Interventions and "Judi-isms" is a fascinating and far-ranging book that shares her knowledge and experiences working on the front lines of Israel society during times of war and peace. From the perspective of her decades of work as the director of Shaare Zedek Medical Center's Neuropsychology Unit, Dr. Guedalia conveys her wisdom on a wide range of topics ranging from resilience in the face of family conflict, to coping with illness, loss and trauma. A number of chapters introduce the reader to an array of Biblical topics with Dr. Guedalia's signature creativity regarding psychological and Jewish wisdom. She consistently brings a fresh perspective to a variety of areas where psychology meets Jewish thought. I recommend this book to anybody who is interested in a unique blend of wisdom, humor and insight into the human spirit."

"Judi-isms are very special anecdotes from a very special personality. I have known Dr. Judith Bendheim Guedalia for several decades as a very capable neuropsychologist, a dynamic personality, a woman with a sharp and critical eye yet very empathic and sympathetic.
