Description
Executive Functions: What They Are, How They Work, and Why They Evolved by Russell A. Barkley offers a comprehensive theory of executive functioning (EF) with significant clinical implications. Barkley synthesises cutting-edge neuropsychological and evolutionary research to present a model of EF rooted in everyday activities. He explains how abilities such as emotion regulation, self-motivation, planning, and working memory enable individuals to pursue personal and collective goals critical for survival. The book identifies key stages of EF development and details the individual and social costs of EF deficits. Barkley also outlines specific ways his model can support advances in assessment and treatment, including his empirically based assessment tools: the Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS for Adults) and BDEFS-CA.
