Clinical neuropsychology is a subspecialty of professional psychology that is
concerned with the scientific study and clinical application of brain-behavior
relationships. Broadly defined,
a neuropsychological evaluation is a flexible
clinical tool that involves integration of objective, psychometric test data
along with various other sources of clinical information to comprehensively
elucidate the cognitive, behavioral, and emotional sequelae after traumatic brain
injury (TBI). In addition to characterizing TBI sequelae, evidenced-based
neuropsychological assessment can contribute to TBI patient care by aiding with
prognostic assessment, measuring interval change/recovery over time
(eg, resolution of posttraumatic amnesia), informing and implementing rehabilitation
strategies, and evaluating the effectiveness of interventions.
