Abstract
Clinical child neuropsychology has a myriad of forces that create countervalences for its definition, identity, and placement in human services. While clinical neuropsychology, broadly defined, is still striving to establish itself as capable of fulfilling a function on behalf of human welfare, as would be distinct from neurology, it must also justify being a specialization within clinical, counseling, and school psychology. In turn, clinical child neuropsychology must deal with the same issues, but must also carve out its uniqueness from clinical adult neuropsychology.
