Abstract
An extensive interview of the patient and significant others is an essential part of the neuropsy-chological evaluation. A suggested Neuropsychological Interview Form is outlined in Appendix B. The form lists categories of information to be obtained from interviewees or from records. It may be helpful to use different color inks to identify the source of each piece of information. By obtaining the same type of information from sources other than the patient, the patient’s reliability, remote memory, and self-knowledge may be assessed.
