Neuropsychology Central

[Anne]

I'm new to this area. Working as an occupational therapist in an acute neurological setting where my role is to look at the effect of neurological impairments on function. I am particulary interested with regard to the role of the neuropsycholgist with patients presenting with behavioural and personality issues following head injury/frontal lobe lesions etc. What type of assessments might you use?Would you make recommendations with regard to safety for discharge etc? I realise each neuropsychologist works differently, but I would appreciate some information on this area or if you can direct me towards websites or accessible literature on the topic, that would be great. Thank you
