Since the late 1800s psychologists have been interested in discerning the strategies subjects employ to solve psychological tests. Until recently, however, much of this work had relied on qualitative observations. In the past few years, clinicians and researchers have developed new methodologies for quantification, leading to the emergence of a new field termed the Quantified Process Approach. The present book outlines the rationale for the emergence of this new approach and reviews the state-of-the-art research literature and up-to-date clinical applications as they pertain to the evaluation of neuropsychiatric, head injured, and learning disabled patients. When available, norms and scoring forms are included in the appendices. The book will be an invaluable resource for all neuropsychologists and clinical neuropsychologists who employ testing in their research and clinical practice.

"While experienced neuropsychologists may be well-versed in the standard process of conducting a neuropsychological evaluation, they may still have difficulty determining a client's current functioning, given his or her unique cultural context. This is especially true when the client and the clinician do not share the same ethnic background and language fluency. In such cases, the clinician risks administering a biased assessment with invalid tests, misinterpreted data, and inappropriate -- if not harmful -- treatment recommendations. Daryl Fujii helps neuropsychologists enhance their cultural competence by providing readers with a broad framework for cultivating an ethnorelative -- instead of an ethnocentric -- view of clients. He begins by reviewing relevant research and professional guidelines that explain how cultural factors can impact a neuropsychological evaluation. Then he outlines preliminary strategies for establishing rapport and improving communication with clients, estimating their premorbid functioning, gathering pertinent data, selecting and translating appropriate tests, and working with interpreters. The closing chapters present a detailed case example that demonstrates a pre-assessment interview, test interpretation, report writing, treatment recommendations, and a final feedback session with the client"--Publicity materials.

"Practical and comprehensive, this is the first book to focus on noncredible performance in clinical contexts. Experts in the field discuss the varied causes of invalidity, how to efficiently incorporate validity tests into clinical evaluations, and how to proceed when noncredible responding is detected. Thoughtful, ethical guidance is given for offering patient feedback and writing effective reports. Population-specific chapters cover validity assessment with military personnel; children; and individuals with dementia, psychiatric disorders, mild traumatic brain injury, academic disability, and other concerns. Case examples and sample reports enhance the book's utility"--
