Editorial Introduction to Wilson/Prigatano Dialogue

Abstract

For too many members of our discipline, the practice of clinical neuropsychology is synonymous with the administration and interpretation of specialized tests of brain functioning. We have, in fact, become quite sophisticated in the assessment of brain-disordered patients. But the development of effective programs of neuropsychological treatment (which includes, but is not limited to, “cognitive rehabilitation”) remains one of the most pressing needs and awesome challenges for clinical and research neuropsychology.
