The Independent Neuropsychological Evaluation explores the process
of conducting an independent neuropsychological evaluation (IME)
for disability related claims. While neuropsychologists are well
trained in the area of clinical assessment, little training,
mentoring, or supervision applies these skills to the disability
arena, and a lack of literature specific to this rapidly growing
area of practice by which to develop expertise encroaches on these
needs. Authors Howard J. Oakes, David W. Lovejoy, and Shane S. Bush
provide information about how to prepare disability related
assessments that are valid, useful, and appropriate. They explain
the language and context of "disability," offer relevant ethical
and professional considerations, and cover business aspects of IMEs
as well as particular neuropsychological related issues. Although
the subject matter covered in this book has relevance to
neuropsychological IMEs conducted in the context of civil
litigation, workers' compensation, fitness for duty, and state- or
federally-sponsored disability programs, this book emphasizes IMEs
conducted for private disability insurance companies. Practicing
neuropsychologists and clinical psychologists who conduct, or are
contemplating conducting, independent examinations, as well as
providers in neurology and psychiatry who may struggle with some of
the same disability-related issues and questions, will find this
volume of great practical use.
