Reviews / Votes

"This volume is a great step forward in promoting the evidence-based practice of clinical neuropsychology. Dr. Bowden and other contributors offer a carefully curated view of the current state of the art in applying knowledge from empirical data to clinical decision-making in both diagnostic and treatment contexts. This provides a solid foundation upon which the future of clinical neuropsychology may rest.> * Robert M. Bilder, PhD, ABPP-CN, Tennenbaum Professor of Psychiatry & Psychology, UCLA Semel Institute
* "Neuropsychologists through their tradition as scientist-practitioners anchor their work in best practices that are evidence-based. This volume in the National Academy of Neuropsychology: Series on Evidence-based Practices focuses on Diagnostic and Treatment Evaluations, the very heart of neuropsychological practice. An impressive array of topics and scholars have been brought together under the leadership of Dr. Stephen Bowden to provide clinicians with a clear articulation of how to identify high quality research and translate findings from this research into daily clinical practice. This book will be a go-to guide for those interested in understanding the foundations of, and applying, best practices in neuropsychological patient-care."-Holly Tuokko, PhD, Professor of Psychology, University of Victoria "Neuropsychological Assessment in the Age of Evidence-Based Practice is an essential resource and guide to the rapidly developing field of evidence-based practices in clinical neuropsychology. Professor Bowden's guide provides a review and synthesis of the current state of neuropsychological science in an easily accessible, practical and user friendly way, which allows both novices and experts to easily apply these techniques in the clinic. I will certainly be setting this book for my graduate classes in neuropsychological methods and assessment and I know that my students will benefit from the scholarship, guidance and the experience of the distinguished contributors in improving their practice in the interests of best serving their patients. A tour de force!> * Simon F. Crowe, PhD, Professor of Neuroscience and Clinical Neuropsychology, La Trobe University (Australia)
