What is Neuropsychology?
Neuropsychology is the science of the relationship between brain functioning and behaviors and thinking processes. A clinical neuropsychologist is someone who specializes in the assessment of individuals with complaints in behavior and thinking to determine what can be attributed to abnormal or normal brain functioning, emotional issues, and/or situational factors.
What is Forensic Psychology?
Forensic psychology is the practice of evaluating the psychological status of an individual in association with specific legal questions. Forensic neuropsychology integrates the assessment of brain functioning in answering such legal questions.
