ABSTRACT
In Chapter 10 the importance of gathering a comprehensive database when conducting a neuropsychological evaluation was discussed; the background, history, qualitative clinical observations, quantitative neuropsychological and personality test results, and information obtained from collateral sources and review of records, all being critical components of a thorough exam. We favor an approach in which each component of the evaluation can be used to generate hypotheses that can be supported or rejected by integrating all possible sources of data.
