Clinical neuropsychology is a discipline of Psychology that specialises in the clinical assessment and treatment of patients with brain injury or neurocognitive deficits.
AnswerA branch of psychology in which a clinician specializes in diagnosing and assessing individuals with brain trauma, encephalitic disease, or neuro-degenerative disorders. These psychologists can work in private, assessing individuals and helping them understand the causes, effects, and whatnot of their affliction or with a team of other specialized doctors, diagnosing and assessing many patients without close work. Neuropsychologists differ from neurologists because they diagnose using a vast array of tools and methods. From brain imaging, to questionnaires, to practical physical measures, to clinical interviews, they have a much more comprehensive approach to diagnosis. They are also licensed as psychologists, so they can practice clinical therapy with those they diagnose!David G.
