504    Includes bibliographical references and index. 
520    "Clinical neuropsychologists are increasingly involved in 
       the evaluation of civil capacities and are in demand by 
       other professionals, particularly attorneys and judges, to
       assist their decision-making about these sometimes complex
       issues. While there has been some neuropsychological 
       research in this area, this has not been assembled into a 
       single volume nor have practice recommendations been 
       provided. This volume fills these gaps. The first part of 
       this volume reviews and synthesizes the research 
       literature on neuropsychological aspects of civil 
       capacities. The specific capacities addressed include 
       driving, financial and healthcare decision-making, 
       testamentary (i.e., will-making) capacity, and personal 
       care and independence. Each chapter addresses relevant 
       background issues, conceptual/theoretical advances, and 
       empirical findings. The chapters also include an 
       illustrative case study that demonstrates how the authors 
       (each expert in the various areas) evaluated and 
       conceptualized the case. Each chapter is written from an 
       evidence-based perspective and, where appropriate, uses 
       research to inform practice recommendations. The second 
       part of this volume provides recommendations to 
       practitioners on how to conduct civil capacity evaluations
       that utilize neuropsychological assessment. There are 
       chapters on an evaluative framework for the assessment, 
       capacity test selection and psychometric issues, working 
       with other data sources besides testing (e.g., collateral 
       interviews), best practices in report-writing and 
       testifying, as well as common ethical issues in such 
       cases. Throughout, these chapters provide practical "how 
       to" advice to improve neuropsychological practice and 
       consulting in civil capacity cases. In addition to these 
       chapters, there is a chapter written by legal consumers of
       psychological reports. This chapter offers a wealth of 
       useful information and recommendations that, if followed, 
       will further serve to advance psychological report-writing
       and consultation in civil capacity evaluations"--
