Introduction

Abstract

Abstract Welcome! We are so glad you decided to take this step toward board certification in clinical neuropsychology or, if you are a supervisor, toward preparing your trainees to take that step. This book has been written for you. It provides support and down-to-earth advice for practicing neuropsychologists who are pursuing board certification via the American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology (ABCN), a specialty board of the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). It also provides neuropsychology supervisors and their trainees with information that will give a “leg up” on the preparation process. We (the authors) share the belief that the discipline of clinical neuropsychology and the consumers of neuropsychological services are best served by the board certification of qualified clinicians. We also know that qualified clinicians, like you, lead busy lives and need practical information and advice if you are to become board certified. Consequently, we take a decidedly pragmatic tone in this book.
