Deutsch Press, Inc., 1991,373 pp. (hardbound). Criminal and personal injury courts frequently rely upon neuropsychological testimony to make crucial decisions regarding persons with neurobehavioral problems. Neuropsychologists end up as expert witnesses whether they intend it or not. The attorneys involved need to understand the various experts they encounter. An attorney’s knowledge of an expert’s profession is critical to effective case development and representation. Attorneys often burn the mid- night oil gaining a working knowledge of a profession. A superficial knowl- edge is acceptable in some cases, but in other cases a thorough understanding is essential. This is the first book specifically written to introduce neuropsy- chology to attorneys. Until this book, attorneys were on their own to find information about professional clinical neuropsychology. They now have a book written specifically for them by a highly experienced and respected spe- cialist in forensic clinical neuropsychology.
