Pediatric Forensic Neuropsychology is the definitive reference on
the practice and process of civil forensic neuropsychological
assessment of children and adolescents. An elite, knowledgeable,
and expert group of authors were assembled in order to produce the
first text dedicated specifically to pediatric forensic
neuropsychology. This volume covers core topics pertaining to
forensic neuropsychological assessments of children and
adolescents, such as the role of pediatric neuropsychology in the
courtroom, ethical issues, and practical issues in private forensic
practice. Other chapters discuss the foundations of pediatric
neuropsychological assessment, and include discussion of
neuropsychological test selection, base rates, interpreting change,
and sub-optimal performance. In addition, the text covers forensic
evaluations of specific pediatric populations including those
suffering postconcussion syndrome and mild traumatic brain injury,
moderate to severe traumatic brain injury, and medical malpractice
cases, as well as the independent educational evaluation. Further
chapters discuss premorbid and post-injury factors, and conditions
important in the forensic neuropsychological evaluation of children
including moderator variables and diversity, psychological and
psychiatric conditions, and ADHD and LD. The book is intended
primarily for neuropsychologists who engage in forensic work.
Although the topics will be of most interest to those who assess
children and adolescents, the topics will also be of interest to
neuropsychologists who conduct forensic evaluations with adults.
The text will also be useful for attorneys, and medical
professionals involved in forensic evaluations, such as clinical
psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and physiatrists.
