Psychologists have played a significant role in identifying and facilitating understanding of neurocognitive outcomes in children and adolescents surviving cancer. Moore (this issue) provides an excellent overview of the salient medical and demographic predictors of adverse neurocognitive impact, while Butler and Mulhern (this issue) describe promising findings from recent pioneering studies aimed at treating cognitive and neurobehavioral side effects. Moore’s discussion of past research gains is notable for its integration of a neuropathological perspective with select findings from animal model studies. Butler and Mulhern’s discussion is similarly exceptional for integration of perspectives not commonly elaborated upon in articles on the neurocognitive functioning of childhood cancer survivors. Specifically, they discuss the potential importance of a "psychotherapeutic" component, along with "family environment" and school-based "ecological interventions" in cognitive remediation intervention programs. This expansive rehabilitation model, when viewed with Moore’s discussion of neurobiological underpinnings, reflects a movement toward greater conceptual integration. This is . . .
