Title: Good general introduction, helpful to experienced practitioners
Product review: This book provides a solid review of basic aspects of neuropsychological assessment. It does an excellent job of addressing diagnostic issues (sensitivity and specificity, the importance of considering base rates, differentiating normal from abnormal performance etc.)It is aimed at the clinician and spends less time on neuroscience issues that do not have a direct bearing on what neuropsychologists actually do. Many different assessment tools and techniques are discussed. I would have like to see more critical analysis of the different instruments but perhaps this can be addressed in subsequent additions.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
