Abstract:
Research regarding the delivery of neuropsychological feedback (NF) has grown in recent years to include specific models and strategies for working with patients with diverse medical conditions across the lifespan, and is now considered a core competency for neuropsychologists. NF is an individualized therapeutic intervention designed to maximize the patient's understanding of assessment results and catalyze follow through with treatment recommendations. This article summarizes research on NF and its strategic goals, as well as the potential impact/outcomes of these therapeutic interventions. One specific model (Therapeutic Assessment) is described in detail and illustrated through a clinical vignette.
