Abstract
A working knowledge of the type of illness the client is experiencing is critical to formal neuropsychotherapy and to many related interventions. It is quite important to know typical manifestations, the time course of the disease, medical treatments, how they are likely to be experienced, which symptoms indicate a recurrence or other problem needing further medical attention, what regimens need to be followed, and so on. This knowledge base can be found in neurology textbooks (cf. Brumback, 1993), in neurology texts for non-neurologists (cf. Cohen, 1993; Love, 1992; Wiederholt, 1988), in popular literature (cf. Mace & Rabins, 1991), and in neuropsychological texts regarding specific diseases (cf. Bennett, 1992; Hartman, 1995; Levin, Eisenberg, & Benton, 1989; Parks, Zec, & Wilson, 1993; Rao et al., 1991).
