The interpretation of neuropsychological tests is a complex process which requires recognition of the multiple skills required to complete even the simplest tests. The purpose of this volume is to explore the various interpretive strategies used with a wide variety of commonly used tests in order to see beyond the skills suggested by the test title. By integrating these possible interpretations across multiple tests, the neuropsychologist can pinpoint those deficits which lie at the core of a client’s pattern of test results. It is intended for both professionals and for students starting to learn the clinical practice of neuropsychology.
