This innovative book employs a case-based approach to explore common mistakes in the practice of clinical neuropsychology, serving as a valuable training tool for early-career clinicians. By providing readers with the opportunity for critical reflection during clinical practice, this book fosters competency in clinical neuropsychology through the examination of errors as a vital part of the learning process.
The heart of this book features a diverse array of mistakes, each presented through patient narratives. Every chapter centers around a specific error, typically one made by the authors during their early careers as clinicians. The initial chapters delve into mistakes related to neuropsychological assessment and the diagnostic process, while later chapters address errors encountered in rehabilitation and patient management. Each chapter is framed to reflect the situational context, such as the role of patient history, what constitutes normal performance, the dependence of complex tasks on foundational skills, and strategies for treating patients with dysexecutive impairment. At the end of each chapter, readers will find a reflection on the nature of each error type. This structured approach, known as SEER (Situation, Example, Error, Reflection), encourages readers to visualize the circumstances surrounding each mistake, its nature, and its relevance.
This book particularly emphasizes insightful phrases (axioms or gnomes) that are frequently utilized by experienced clinicians, making it a treasure trove of practical wisdom.
