What is Clinical Neuropsychology?

"Clinical neuropsychology is a specialty in professional psychology that applies principals of assessment and intervention based upon the scientific study of human behavior as it relates to normal and abnormal functioning of the central nervous system. This specialty is dedicated to enhancing the understanding of brain-behavior relationships and the application of such knowledge to human problems."

(American Psychology Association)

Knowledge of the relationship between the brain and behavior is used to assess, diagnose, treat and/or rehabilitate patients with neurological, medical, neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions, as well as those with cognitive or learning disorders.

Scientifically-validated evaluation tools, medical histories and clinical interviews aid in this process.
