PY - 2021 T2 - Neuropsychiatry and Behavioral Neurology: Principles and Practice AB - Clinical neuropsychology is an applied science of human behavior based on principles of brain–behavior relationships. Central to this approach is neuropsychological assessment, which involves gathering information about an individual’s history, current symptoms and functioning, as well as administering a variety of behavioral measures designed to probe specific cognitive functions. A clinical neuropsychologist integrates objective data within a biopsychosocial context to evaluate and diagnose abnormalities in the realm of behavior and cognition. The assessment may address a variety of clinical questions, often to aid in diagnostic clarification and guide treatment planning.
