No other book reviews clinical neuropsychological assessment
from an empirical psychometric perspective. In this completely revised
and updated 2nd edition, the concepts and methods of psychometric
neuropsychology are presented as a framework by which to evaluate
current instruments. Newer methodologies and statistical techniques
are discussed, such as meta analysis, effect size, confirming factor
analysis and ecological validity. The explosion of research in this
area since the publication of the first edition in 1989, has been
incorporated, including a greatly expanded chapter on child assessment
instruments.

This volume is a must for the bookshelf of every clinical
neuropsychologist as well as researchers and students. Anyone
conducting forensic evaluations will especially find useful the
information on reliability and validity when preparing for court
appearances.
