“…A neuropsychological assessment should also provide clear advice about the clinical implications of the assessment results, including the need for any future reviews or other investigations and when these might best occur. Providing feedback to patients and families forms a key part of the assessment process and can have direct therapeutic benefits, enhancing cognitive and emotional well‐being . Feedback typically includes psychoeducation about the nature of perceived cognitive difficulties, their basis and relationship to the epilepsy, as well as any other psychological factors that are relevant.…”

SUMMARYThe International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Diagnostic Methods Commission charged the Neuropsychology Task Force with the job of developing a set of recommendations to address the following questions: (1) What is the role of a neuropsychological assessment? (2) Who should do a neuropsychological assessment? (3) When should people with epilepsy be referred for a neuropsychological assessment? and (4) What should be expected from a neuropsychological assessment? The recommendations have been broadly written for health care clinicians in established epilepsy settings as well as those setting up new services. They are based on a detailed survey of neuropsychological assessment practices across international epilepsy centers, and formal ranking of specific recommendations for advancing clinical epilepsy care generated by specialist epilepsy neuropsychologists from around the world. They also incorporate the latest research findings to establish minimum standards for training and practice, reflecting the many roles of neuropsychological assessment in the routine care of children and adults with epilepsy. The recommendations endorse routine screening of cognition, mood, and behavior in new-onset epilepsy, and describe the range of situations when more detailed, formal neuropsychological assessment is indicated. They identify a core set of cognitive and psychological domains that should be assessed to provide an objective account of an individual's cognitive, emotional, and psychosocial functioning, including factors likely contributing to deficits identified on qualitative and quantitative examination. The recommendations also endorse routine provision of feedback to patients, families, and clinicians about the implications of the assessment results, including specific clinical recommendations of what can be done to improve a patient's cognitive or psychosocial functioning and alleviate the distress of

“…This set up a major change paradigm-wise in the assessment-related behaviour and research foci and ushered in different types of therapeutic models that continue to influence the treatment of mental health disorders (Finn, 2007;Gorske & Smith, 2008;Riddle et al, 2002;Tharinger, Finn, Wilkinson, & Schaber, 2007;Wygant & Fleming, 2008). The question remains, why therapeutic approach to treatment?…”

“…A recent study found that neuropsychological evaluation fi ndings are provided to patients "usually or almost always" by 71% of practitioners (Smith, Wiggins, & Gorske, 2007 ) and that most patients receiving feedback consider the experience to be positive and useful (Bennett-Levy, Klein-Boonschate, Batchelor, McCarter, & Walton, 1994 ). Having such sessions with patients refl ects a mindful, ethical, and client-centered approach to neuropsychological service and may be therapeutic in and of itself (Gorske & Smith, 2009 ).…”
