Full description: |
During the course you are going to be familiarized with and get a chance to discuss case studies of patients suffering from a number of conditions: aphasia, amnesia, agnosia, executive dysfunction, mild and severe brain injury; haemorrhages; epilepsy, neurotoxicity and degenerative disorders. Some of the conditions - mentioned above - have already been briefly discussed during “The basic issues in neuropsychological assessment” course; this course is a chance to deepen knowledge not only about assessment methods used in clinical practice, but also to get a much wider perspective and holistic approach when it comes to working with neuropsychological patients. While discussing the cases, some very important issues of neuropsychological examination such as interview, test selection and interpretation procedures are going to be introduced as well. |
