Neuropsychology is a subspeciality within clinical psychology that bridges the gap between neurology and psychology.

 

Based on the biopsychosocial model of understanding human behavior, neuropsychologists use standardized tests to assess brain function and dysfunction and then provide information intended to aid in continuing treatment, management, caregiving, and safety.

 

Neuropsychologists are not treating providers (i.e., They do not prescribe medication, etc.), but they are an essential part of the treatment team.

​
