In recent years there has been a tremendous growth in interest in human brain-behavior relationships. This interest is expressed in many ways, including both experimental studies and clinical assessment and evaluation. The Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery is reported to be the most extensive used method for clinical evaluation of brain-behavior relationship. More than half of the clinical psychology training programs in major universities give training in use of Battery. The Purpose of this book is to contribute further clinical knowledge of the neuropsychology of brain diseases or injuries as measured by The Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery. The book presents statement of the theory and rational of the Battery, a description of test included in the Battery. A manual for administering and scoring the test and 28 case presentation in which the neuropsychological test results were related to the independently identified neurological description of the patient's brain.
