Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to confidently
administer, score, and interpret the most popular
neuropsychological assessment instruments
Neuropsychological testing can identify changes in cognition,
behavior, and emotion; aid in determining the cause of a disorder
or developmental problem; 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. Now fully revised
and in a second edition, "Essentials of Neuropsychological
Assessment" is that source.
Completely updated to include the most current instruments,
including the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS), the
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV),
the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV), and
the Wechsler Memory Scale-Fourth Edition (WMS-IV), Essentials of
Neuropsychological Assessment, Second Edition presents an overview
of the assumptions, logic, knowledge base, and skills underlying
the practice of neuropsychological assessment. Neuropsychological
experts Nancy Hebben and William Milberg describe how clinical
history, behavioral observations, and formal test results are used
to make inferences about the contribution of brain dysfunction to
psychological functioning.
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 neuropsychological 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," Second Edition
provides comprehensive instruction on neuropsychological test
administration, scoring, interpretation, and report writing. It
