ABSTRACT
As we saw in Chapter 1, neuropsychology is an evolving subject area that can confidently draw on at least 100 years’ worth of reasonably sound scientific research, and double that if the (more dubious) enterprises of writers and researchers from the 19th century are included. Neuropsychology is not a unitary discipline, and I also reviewed the differing approaches of cognitive and clinical neuropsychologists. I stated at the time that both approaches merited our attention and I hope that I have, by now, persuaded you that this is indeed the case.
