The Science and Speculation of Rehabilitation in Developmental Neuropsychological Disorders

  • Chapter
The Neuropsychology of Individual Differences

Part of the book series: Perspectives on Individual Differences ((PIDF))

Abstract

The field of developmental neuropsychology has reached adolescence resting on its collective diagnostic laurels. Percent-correct classification has represented the staple of neuropsychological sophistication, and professional one-upmanship has focused on surpassing hit rates reported for earlier measures (Wedding, 1983). Despite the pleas of some experts that neuropsychology must address the implications of neurologic conditions, especially in view of such tools as the computed axial tomography (CAT) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans (Dean, 1982, 1985), in general neuropsychology remains arrested at the diagnostic level. Some of the major sources in the field published during the past five years make only passing reference to rehabilitation—presumably the end purpose for which clinicians engage in the rites of diagnosis. Those sources that at least acknowledge the issue of rehabilitation (Rourke, Bakker, Fisk, & Strang, 1983; Rutter, 1983) are fairly consistent in their conclusion that much of what is prescribed in the name of intervention is speculative (Gittelman, 1983; Hynd & Cohen, 1983; Rourke et al., 1983).
