“…In 1970 clinical neuropsychology was seen as an emerging new discipline, rooted in the past and rapidly growing into the future (Parsons, 1970). In the 10 years that have followed, clinical neuropsychology has come of age and has formally joined the ranks of the other neurosciences.…”

“…The Editor and Associate Editors of Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology should be complimented for devoting a special section to clinical neuropsychology. Credit should also be given to the authors who accepted the difficult challenge of highlighting substance and content areas in this emerging new discipline, which according to Parsons (1970) has its roots in the past but is rapidly growing into the future. In this issue Chelune and Edwards (1981) state the following:…”

In this overview the five contributions to this special section are discussed according to three emergent trends in clinical neuropsychology: (a) neuro-developmental, (b) assessment, and (c) intervention. The neuro-developmental issues receive particular emphasis because of their importance to clinical neuropsychology as a whole. In this area conceptual models bridging the neurosciences and human ability theory are rapidly developing. Boundaries between research and practice and between animal and human models are less distinct. In assessment the need for theoretically meaningful assessment approaches is emphasized, with strong criticism for the continued development of brain-damage batteries. The need for more consideration of the measurement characteristics of neuropsychological batteries was emphasized. Intervention efforts are currently just beginning. This area lacks a conceptual framework but has much promise for expanding the professional role of the clinical neuropsychologist. Throughout this overview the need for more development of the psychological component of neuropsychology is emphasized. As the neuro-developmental issues illustrate, some of the needed theory, which is particularly important for continued progress in assessment and intervention areas, can be obtained from psychological theories of cognition and behavior.

“…If you want an accounting of the rational forces that shaped our field, consult the written word. Read Bruce's (1985) observations regarding the origin of the term "neuropsychology, " Parsons' (1970) chapter on the development of clinical neuropsychology, Reitan's (1994) article on Halstead's contribution to neuropsychology, and Costa's (1998) recent article, Professionalism in Neuropsychology: The Early Years.…”

This article emphasizes the importance of both scientific and phenomenological approaches to the practice of clinical neuropsychology. Paying attention to patients experiences while they receive neuropsychological services is stressed because this aspect is often neglected in the training of clinical neuropsychologists. Finally, the reality of "hostile" forces within the politics of neuropsychology is considered briefly. Neuropsychologists need to consider three major issues that are important to our field and to the National Academy of Neuropsychology. First, neuropsychology is a scientific enterprise that deserves continued efforts at scholarship and clinically relevant research. The second issue concerns how scientific information is applied to patient care and the need for clinical neuropsychologists to understand both personal suffering and empirical data. The third issue is more delicate. It concerns the political forces in our field and my related personal observations.
