This volume reflects, in part, an update of Clinical Application of
Neuropsycho logical Test Batteries, edited by Theresa Incagnoli,
Gerald Goldstein, and Charles Golden some 10 years ago. While the
initial concept of the present editors involved doing a
straightforward update of each chapter, it soon became apparent
that the field of clinical neuropsychology had changed so
dramatically and rapidly that substantial changes in the outline
had to be made. It was our view that sufficient interest remained
in the standard comprehen sive neuropsychological test batteries to
make an update worthwhile. We asked four senior people to take on
this assignment, James Moses, Jr. , andAmold Purisch in the case of
the Luria-Nebraska Battery, and James Reed and Homer Reed for the
Halstead-Reitan Battery. These individuals all have long-term
associations with these procedures and can be viewed as pioneers in
their development. How ever, it also seemed to us that there was an
increasing interest in the psychometric aspects of the standard
procedures and in assessment issues related to the relative merits
of using standard or individualized assessment strategies. Thus, we
have chapters by Elbert Russell and Gerald Goldstein that provide
discussions of these current methodological and clinical issues.
During the past 10 years, the cognitive revolution has made a
strong impact on neuropsychology. The interest of cognitive
psychologists in brain function has increased dramatically, and we
now have an active field of cognitive neuropsy chology, something
that was only beginning 10 years ago.
