For a period of some fifteen years following completion of my
internship training in clinical psychology (1950-1951) at the
Washington University School of Medicine and my concurrent
successful navigation through that school's neuroanatomy course,
clinical work in neuropsychology for me and the psychologists of my
generation consisted almost exclusively of trying to help our
physician colleagues differentiate patients with neurologic from
those with psychiatric disorders. In time, experience led all of us
from the several disciplines involved in this enterprise to the
conclusion that the crude diag nostic techniques available to us
circa 1945-1965 had garnered us little valid information upon which
to base such complex, differential diagnostic decisions. It now is
gratifying to look back and review the remarkable progress that has
occurred in the field of clinical neuropsychology in the four
decades since I was a graduate student. In the late 1940s such
pioneers as Ward Halstead, Alexander Luria, George Yacorzynski,
Hans-Lukas Teuber, and Arthur Benton already were involved in
clinical studies that, by the late 1960s, would markedly have
improved the quality of clinical practice. However, the only
psychological tests that the clinical psychologist of my immediate
post-Second World War generation had as aids for the diagnosis of
neurologically based conditions involving cognitive deficit were
such old standbys as the Wechsler Bellevue, Rorschach, Draw A
Person, Bender Gestalt, and Graham Kendall Memory for Designs
Test."
