Neuropsychological Rehabilitation

Evaluation and Treatment Approaches

  • Chapter
Acquired Brain Injury

Abstract

Clinical neuropsychologists are professionals within the field of psychology with special expertise in applying the principles of brain-behavior relationships to individuals with various neurological injuries or illnesses, as well as other medical, developmental, and/or psychiatric conditions (National Academy of Neuropsychology [NAN], 2001). Using various tests, techniques, and principles, neuropsychologists evaluate individuals’ cognitive, behavioral, and emotional strengths and weaknesses, and the impact of these on the person’s ability to function. This information, combined with information from other professionals (physician, occupational, speech-language, physical therapists, etc.) and families/significant others, is utilized to develop, recommend, and implement treatment interventions.
