The growth of clinical neuropsychology has been unprecedented. This
growth has been oriented more toward the provision of than toward
the foundation for services. Thus, while a greater number of
psychologists are performing a greater number of neuropsychological
procedures, there seems to us an uneven parallel growth between
these services and the empirical foundations for them. It should
come to no one's surprise that increasingly aggressive attacks on
the field have been leveled. Despite these attacks, clinical
neuropsychology con tinues to enjoy exceptional growth within
psychology and acceptance by other health practitioners, insurance
companies, legislators, judges, juries, and above all, consumers of
our services. Growth without self-reflection is a dangerous
enterprise, as is growth without directions. We find it
disconcerting that existing and limited "self analysis" has assumed
that neuropsychological dysfunction is immune to the same variables
that affect psychological dysfunction. Some attention has been paid
to the most obvious ones, such as age, but all others have been
ignored and/ or misunderstood. This neglect has spawned a body of
knowledge replete with questionable data and unfounded conclusions.
Hence, it is surprising that clinical neuropsychologists consider
themselves to be more scientifically sound than their regular
clinical counterparts."
