Recenzii

From the reviews:
“The Neuropsychology Toolkit: Guidelines, Formats, and Language provides the beginning clinician with the necessary and fundamental components of writing a concise, coherent, and interpretable neuropsychological evaluation. … Throughout the book, Wanlass makes extensive use of clinical examples for a range of situations that might be encountered during the neuropsychological assessment process. … this book can be recommended to the beginning clinician or doctoral student who is pursuing a career in clinical neuropsychology or to clinicians who are unfamiliar with neuropsychological assessment.” (Benjamin D. Hill and Joshua S. Kline, Journal of Child and Family Studies, Vol. 22, 2013)
“The author provides the reader with essential scaffolding on what to include in a report and helpful suggestions on how the entire evaluation process might be accomplished. Although it is primarily geared toward trainees that are earlier on in their professional development in the practice of clinical neuropsychology, the book can also be utilized by more seasoned users in a review of sound practice fundamentals. … this is a useful little book that will easily find a place on students’ or supervisors’ shelf.” (John E. Beauvais, Sara E. Anderson and Katherine D. Kane, Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, November, 2012)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Many outcomes may hinge on a neuropsychology evaluation, from the awarding of money to the granting of custody. Assessment of mental, motor, and related functions must be accurate and results reported in clear detail to contribute to an informed judgment. For the practitioner just starting to compose evaluation reports, this can be a daunting prospect, especially if one is still mastering the language of the field and its clinical nuances.
 
The Neuropsychology Toolkit jump-starts confidence and competence by identifying common evaluation errors—of omission, commission, and misjudgment—and providing a solid framework for avoiding them. Geared toward best practice as well as clear communication, it covers each step of the process, from gathering background information and other pre-test considerations to interpreting results and reporting conclusions, so the developing practitioner can find his or her own voice without sacrificing crucial detail. This improved evaluation of clients, in turn, will improve the way one’s practice is evaluated by supervisors, colleagues, or the courts. 
  
Concise and practical, The Neuropsychology Toolkit is a trustworthy reference for neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, and rehabilitation specialists.
