Who should be referring to a neuropsychologist?
Because the term neuropsychology combines ‘’neuro’’ and ‘’psychology’’ together …
…the knowledge from
• the neurology – e.g. ‘’What region is responsible for what function in the
brain?’’
• the psychology- e.g. ‘’How does the memory
work?’’
is therefore necessary for a treatment.
The neuropsychologist provides treatment for patients…
… who usually sustained injuries in the brain or spinal cord because of e.g. an accident or stroke. Patients have typically problems with concentration or memory.
… with disorders of
- Perceptual performance e.g. scotoma or neglect
- Concentration/ Attention
- Learning ability/ Memory performance
- Visuospatial capacity
- Cognitive processes such as planning and impulse control
- Handling their affliction
The aim of the treatment is the occupational or social reintegration of the patient, in close cooperation with the attending neurologist.
