The Halstead—Reitan Neuropsychological Battery

  • Chapter
Contemporary Approaches to Neuropsychological Assessment

Part of the book series: Critical Issues in Neuropsychology ((CINP))

Abstract

Two books published in 1947 were of interest to psychologists. The first book was Halstead’s (1947) Brain and Intelligence. This book served as the development of what is now known as the Halstead—Reitan Battery of Neuropsychological Tests (HRB), which for the past nearly 50 years has had a major impact on the field of human clinical neuropsychology by (1) expanding knowledge on brain—behavior relations, and (2) validating studies that have influenced clinical practice. More research has been done with this battery of tests than any other single neuropsychological battery. In the 1930s and 1940s, Halstead’s work was not universally accepted. Dr. Earl Walker, a neurosurgeon and colleague of Halstead at the University of Chicago, wrote, “since this battery was quite unique and a departure from most of the previous tests of brain functions, Dr. Halstead found some reluctance on the part of classical psychologists to accept his criteria” (Reed, 1984, p. 290). Dr. Paul Bucy, another neurosurgeon and also a colleague of Halstead, wrote

Ward Halstead developed a method of assessing the patient’s emotional and psychological situation which was relatively free of subjective evaluation by the examiner. The examination could be repeated in the same way over and over again and after considerable intervals. It was criticized by some as being too mechanical but I think this criticism was false. (Reed, 1984, p. 290)

Change is slow to occur; there are neuropsychologists still around who have some reluctance to accept the Halstead tests and there are those today who still criticize the HRB as being too mechanical. We think that criticism is false also.
