What is a Neuropsychologist?

A neuropsychologist is a psychologist with specialized training in brain behavior relationships.

What is a board certified Neuropsychologist?

Any neuropsychologist can apply to the American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology, ABCN, and/or the American Board of Professional Neuropsychology, ABPN, to become board certified. Board certification assures the public and profession that the specialist in clinical neuropsychology has met the education, training, and experience requirements, as well as demonstrating the advanced competencies required by the specialty through an individualized peer reviewed examination. The lack of Board Certification, however, does not necessarily mean the neuropsychologist is unqualified.

Neuropsychologists have many different types of jobs and not every neuropsychologist does the same thing. Many neuropsychologists adminsterpsychological tests and perform a assessments to diagnose specific disorders of the brain. These brain disorders often results in problem with thinking, emotion and/or behavior. Neuropsychologists study ways to measure recovery from brain damage as well ad developing strategies for interventions that are effective in remediation, retraining and accommodation. Some neuropsychologists also provide psychotherapy. Neuropsychologists may teach, and some conduct research in college and universities to better understand the functioning of the brain. Neuropsychologists who work in the court system are know as forensic neuropsychologists, and choose to use their knowledge to help in legal issues.
