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"-- |cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Mental status examination.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh93000862 650 0 Psychiatric disability evaluation.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh87000919 650 0 Clinical neuropsychology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh87002328 650 7 Mental status examination.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1016688 650 7 Psychiatric disability evaluation.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1081002 650 7 Clinical neuropsychology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/864390 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Demakis, George J.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2011072465 776 08 |iPrint version:|tCivil competencies in clinical neuropsychology.|dOxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2012|z9780199774067|w(DLC) 2011038701 |w(OCoLC)742511958 830 0 National Academy of Neuropsychology series on evidence- based practices.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2012014959 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=422167|zOnline eBook.
