Opis

Neuropsychologists are provided with little formal education and training on the identification and measurement of medically unexplained symptoms, yet these conditions are highly prevalent. In these cases, neuropsychologists must rely on test results to guide diagnostic formulations. However, personality and cognitive test results are frequently misinterpreted in this population of patients. This volume provides neuropsychologists with comprehensive information and specific practice recommendations for the assessment of patients with medically unexplained symptoms.
