NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
Clinical Neuropsychology is a specialty field within clinical psychology focused on understanding brain function through systematic analysis of brain-behaviour relationships.
A clinical neuropsychologist is a doctoral-level, licensed psychologist with advanced expertise in how behavior and skills are related to brain anatomy and systems. Clinical neuropsychologists use this knowledge in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and/or rehabilitation of patients with neurologic, medical, neurodevelopmental, and/or psychiatric conditions, as well as other cognitive and learning disorders.


PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
A psychological assessment involves a combination of psychological procedures, including clinical interviews, observations, questionnaires, and tasks used to better understand an individual’s emotions, personality, and behaviour, and their impact on relationships and functioning at home, school, work, and other environments. These assessments are for individuals with mood, anxiety, conduct, impulse-control, and/or trauma-related problems, personality and interpersonal difficulties, and other psychological concerns. The outcome of a psychological assessment is a diagnosis (if applicable) and evidence-based recommendations for treatment (e.g., psychotherapy, accommodations in the workplace or at school, etc.). Psychological assessments may also be geared to better understand the impact of a workplace accident or a motor vehicle accident and to plan treatment.
