Feedback that Sticks: The Art of Effectively Communicating Neuropsychological Assessment Results
"How would you like to be a fly on the wall in the office of a respected neuropsychologist as he or she gives neuropsychological feedback to patients? Addressing adult and child patients with neuropsychological disorders including dementia, somatoform disorder, autism, and traumatic brain injury, among many others, Feedback that Sticks provides simulated quotes obtained from neuropsychologists during interviews about they how they would actually give feedback to their patients... This is a must-read resource for clinical neuropsychologists. It has the potential to change the way you practice."Russell L. Adams, Ph.D., ABPP-CN, Professor, Director of Psychology Internship and Postdoctoral Programs, University of Oklahoma Health Science Center"This very readable and interesting book is unlike any other neuropsychological assessment volume you are likely to read. I expect that most neuropsychologists give some kind of feedback to their patients: for example most will go through test findings with them; fewer, I suspect, will give information to the families; and even fewer are likely to think about the significance of providing feedback. This book should change all that. Before reading it, I had always assumed that the feedback I provided was reasonably inclusive, but the authors have taught me that there are many aspects to providing feedback that I had never considered. I learned a fair amount and will change some aspects of my professional behavior in the future." -- Barbara A Wilson, The Oliver Zangwill Centre, Ely, UK,Neuropsychological Rehabilitation
