FROM THE PUBLISHER
It is a relatively simple matter for the experienced clinician to determine an appropriate diagnostic strategy and then to select appropriate tests and measures to address specific clinical concerns, especially from the comfort of his or her office, which typically is replete with textbooks and journals. But what about the busy clinician who needs to make these decisions rapidly? More important, what handy references are available to guide the intern or fellow when supervisors are not readily accessible? In virtually every other medical or health care specialty, there is a fairly simple solution to this problem: the diagnostic guide that fits into the lab coat pocket. This volume provides such a handbook for neuropsychology interns, postdoctoral fellows, and practicing clinicians alike.
