Formal training in clinical neuropsychology introduces trainees to diverse patient populations with a variety of conditions and disorders. Learning to competently apply a structured, fact-finding approach to case conceptualization, differential diagnosis, and treatment planning is an essential goal at all levels of training. This approach provides a valuable exercise and method of examining practitioner competence. The structured approach to case analysis promotes good clinical decision making, and exercises based on such an approach can help prepare clinicians for the oral exams that are a part of board certification. The Neuropsychology Fact-Finding Casebook is a resource for both supervisors and trainees in clinical neuropsychology, as well as for clinicians preparing for board certification. The volume provides 24 compelling and diverse fact-finding cases, one for each month of a two-year residency. Each case is presented in a stepwise fashion: presenting problem and referral question, background information and patient report, behavioral observations, and test findings. At the end of each case, a summary, diagnostic impression, recommendations, and questions are provided to assess, reinforce, and teach core competencies; an outcome section describes what occurred after the full case evaluation is completed; and critical teaching points are discussed. This Casebook is a standardized approach to fact-finding that training programs at various levels can use to help trainees develop such evaluation skills.

Reviews for The Neuropsychology Fact-Finding Casebook: A Training Resource

< Drs. Stucky and Bush have assembled a comprehensive guide for case conceptualization in clinical neuropsychology that addresses a critical need in the field. A 'must-have' resource for neuropsychologists in training (and their supervisors). . . . [T]he book emphasizes critical thinking skills necessary for competence in clinical neuropsychology-tools that are ultimately the most important in the clinician's repertoire.> * E. Mark Mahone, PhD, ABPP, Kennedy Krieger Institute, Johns Hopkins University * < This is the book I wished I had when I was going through the board certification process! Drs. Stucky and Bush have made a major contribution to the education of clinical neuropsychologists. In The Neuropsychology Fact-Finding Casebook, they not only provide a broad range of 24 cases but offer practical guidance in approaching the fact-finding examination.> * Scott Millis, PhD, Professor, Wayne State University School of Medicine and Director of Research, Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan * < Stucky and Bush have provided a unique and easy-to-use set of materials to provide both those in training, as well as those providing supervision or mentoring, with applied didactic experiences in the area of clinical neuropsychological case formulation. This is a timely and important contribution that fills a gap in the field by offering systematic ways to pursue 'fact finding' in an evidence-based manner. Both the diversity and the graded level of complexity of the cases make the book attractive to a wide range of practitioners. It will be a go-to resource for all who want to improve their competencies in case conceptualization, differential diagnosis, and treatment planning.> * Jacobus Donders, PhD, ABPP, Chief Psychologist, Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital *
