Reviews

Cady Block has provided a concrete roadmap for budding neuropsychologists. Because it details how to navigate the early stages of training and career, it's a must-read for students at all levels. Their mentors will appreciate the descriptions of the critical foundational knowledge and practice competencies neuropsychologists must have. All of the contributors are well respected, seasoned neuropsychologists.--Kathleen Y. Haaland, PhD, ABPP-CN, Professor, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, United States This book will be invaluable to students and trainees at all levels who are considering or have started on the path to becoming a clinical neuropsychologist. It covers the timeline for training and the competencies that should be acquired along the way, and includes many useful checklists and helpful tips. I wish the book had been available when I was in training--it's a unique and badly needed resource that I will definitely recommend to my students.--Keith Owen Yeates, PhD, ABPP, FCAHS, Ronald and Irene Ward Chair in Pediatric Brain Injury, Professor of Psychology, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
