What is Neuropsychology?

Neuropsychology

Neuropsychology is the study of brain-behaviour relationships. It is a branch of psychology that focuses on the interaction between the structure and function of the brain and thinking abilities, behaviour, emotions, and day-to-day function.

Neuropsychology is involved in the diagnosis and intervention of many conditions. including the following:

Various dementias, such as Alzheimer's dementia
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Concussions
Alcohol and Illicit Substance Use Disorders
Neurodevelopmental Disorders, such as Intellectual Developmental Disorder/ Intellectual Disability
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

What is a Clinical Neuropsychologist?

Clinical neuropsychologists have advanced skills on assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning for various disorders. We specialize in evaluating and addressing brain disorders that impact crucial cognitive functions such as memory, learning, attention, language, reading, problem-solving, and decision-making.

As clinical neuropsychologists, we are trained to understand the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral consequences associated with a broad spectrum of brain conditions. These conditions span from developmental issues to traumatic, degenerative, endocrine-related, and epileptic disorders.

We generate detailed cognitive profiles that shed light on an individual's cognitive strengths and weaknesses. This comprehensive evaluation aids in the diagnosis of mental disorders and lays the foundation for developing tailored treatment plans for individuals grappling with cognitive difficulties.

In Australia, to call yourself a clinical neuropsychologist you need to have endorsement from the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). A clinical neuropsychologist would have completed four years of undergraduate study in psychology, a postgraduate degree in clinical neuropsychology, and engaged in a registrar programme that involves working under a supervisor for a period of up to 2 years.
