Neuropsychology is a well established mental health specialty and has proven to be very valuable in clinical settings when it is important to identify the focus and extent of subtle brain injury.
However, there has been a great deal of criticism of the application of neuropsychology in forensic matters. In these cases, it is not uncommon to find neuropsychologists who have little training and related neurobehavioral experience.
Overinterpretation of neuropsychological test data is also common and there is a notable lack of baseline information such as school records and prior medical records in many cases.
Neuropsychologists routinely fail to conduct an analysis of the plaintiff's medications and there is no formula to assess the impact of these drugs on test performance.
Neuropsychological reports may never address normal human variation and test defects. The tests themselves may identify pathology but they do not identify or separate causal factors. |
