Essentials of Neuropsychological Assessment
Neuropsychological testing can identify changes in cognition,
behavior, and emotion; aid in determining the cause of the change
(e.g., neurologic disease, psychiatric disorders, or developmental
problems); and assist clinicians in planning treatment and rehabilitation.
To use these tests properly, professionals need an authoritative
source of advice and guidance on how to administer, score, and
interpret them. Written by two leading experts in neuropsychological
assessment, Essentials of Neuropsychological Assessment is
that source.
Like all the volumes in the Essentials
of Psychological Assessment series, this book is designed
to help busy mental health professionals quickly acquire the knowledge
and skills they need to make optimal use of major psychological
assessment instruments. Each concise chapter features numerous
callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and
extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that
help you gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information covered.
Essentials of Neuropsychological Assessment provides comprehensive
instruction on test administration, scoring, and interpretation.
The authors also address practical and conceptual issues related
to neuropsychological assessment in geriatric, pediatric, forensic,
and other specialized settings, as well as the essentials of report
writing and common neuropsychological syndromes.
