The Neuropsychology Fact-Finding Casebook

“Stucky and Bush have provided a unique and easy-to-use set of materials to provide both those in training, as well as those providing supervision or mentoring, with applied didactic experiences in the area of clinical neuropsychological case formulation. This is a timely and important contribution that fills a gap in the field by offering systematic ways to pursue ‘fact finding’ in an evidence-based manner. Both the diversity and the graded level of complexityof the cases make the book attractive to a wide range of practitioners. It will be a go-to resource for all who want to improve their competencies in case conceptualization, differential diagnosis,and treatment planning.” –Jacobus Donders, PhD, ABPP, Chief Psychologist, Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital”This is the book I wished I had when I was going through the board certification process! Drs. Stucky and Bush have made a major contribution to the education of clinical neuropsychologists. In The Neuropsychology Fact-Finding Casebook, they not only provide a broad range of 24 cases but offer practical guidance in approaching the fact-finding examination.” –Scott Millis, PhD, Professor, Wayne State University School of Medicine and Director ofResearch, Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan”Drs. Stucky and Bush have assembled a comprehensive guide for case conceptualization in clinical neuropsychology that addresses a critical need in the field. A ‘must-have’ resource for neuropsychologists in training (and their supervisors)… . [T]he book emphasizes critical thinking skills necessary for competence in clinical neuropsychology-tools that are ultimately the most important in the clinician’s repertoire.” –E. Mark Mahone, PhD, ABPP, KennedyKrieger Institute, Johns Hopkins University”Provides a much-needed resource for supervisors, trainees at the graduate, intern and postdoctoral level, and individuals preparing for the ABCN oral examination. It could also be used as a core text for a more in-depth graduate course on case conceptualization, case presentation, and oral examination preparation. This book easily maintains the reader’s interest and is not overly saturated with technical details or jargon. Further, this book has manystrengths, including the well-developed training template for both examinees and supervisors and the numerous case examples. As a field, board certification is becoming increasingly important and moreprevalent. The Neuropsychology Fact-Finding Casebook presents potential ABCN candidates with a meaningful resource for developing case conceptualization competencies to use for successful completion of the ABCN oral examination and was thoroughly enjoyable to read.” –Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology
