Abstract
Consumers of neuropsychological services have begun to increasingly question the implications of neuropsychological examination findings for patients’ day-to-day functioning. This represents both a conceptual and clinical shift from the more diagnostic questions that had usually been asked. This gradual shift has begun to force clinical neuropsychologists to expand the focus of their assessments to include patients’ strengths as well as weaknesses. Increased recognition of the neuropsychological demands of patients’ environments and the conditions under which their strengths can be enlisted to compensate for deficits is also necessary (Chelune & Moehle, 1986).
