Aims and Scope.

Neuropsychologists around the world often find themselves working as isolated specialists in private practice or on multidisciplinary clinical teams. Applied Neuropsychology offers them a community forum in which to discuss the implications of the latest neuropsychological research and theory for day-to-day practice across the broad spectrum of problems presented by aged and younger adults, adolescents, and children.

In contrast to other journals Applied Neuropsychology is solely focused on clinical applications. It publishes full-length reports of research that illuminates these, commissioned reviews of current conclusions from the scientific literature concerning the nature, course, or treatment of neuropsychological dysfunctions, articles addressing current professional, educational, and ethical concerns, brief communications, commentaries, case studies, and reviews of books and tests. A Grand Rounds section highlights everyday clinical issues. It presents interesting cases in which neuropsychological services made key contributions, as well as unusual cases or rare disorders in which neuropsychological services contribute to patient care.
