This is a slim, but comprehensive and tightly organized guide to the basics of civil forensic neuropsychology as they apply specifically to traumatic brain injury (TBI). Chapters cover the forensic roles of neurologists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, and neurorehabilitation specialists in evaluating TBI cases for purposes of compensation or personal injury. Additional chapters focus on the clinician as forensic examiner and expert witness, carefully illustrating the process of expert testimony in the adversarial litigation setting. While not intended as a stand-alone text in forensic neuropsychology, experienced clinicians can refer to this compact volume as a handy review, while novices will find it a good introduction to the field, whetting their appetite for further study and training.
