Therapeutic Neuropsychological Assessment: A Humanistic Model and Case Example

Tad T. Gorske, PhD

Cognitive Dynamic Therapy Associates in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine

One of the challenges the field of clinical neuropsychology faces is to develop an assessment process that is relevant to the needs of patients and referral sources and responsive to those needs. One method for meeting this need is for psychologists and neuropsychologists to extend their services to develop clinical interventions that serve to enhance patients' cognitive and emotional well-being. Feedback to patients from the results of neuropsychological tests is an intervention that is considered an important part of the assessment process, and there is evidence that direct feedback has positive therapeutic effects for patients. Although many authors have provided suggestions and principles for conducting neuropsychological test feedback, there is no agreed-on conceptual framework for doing so. The following article presents a humanistic model for providing feedback from the results of neuropsychological tests and a case example of its application with a young woman suffering from a brain tumor.

Key Words: neuropsychological assessment • feedback • therapeutic assessment
