Mind and Body.

True nature heal all human being and creatures a like.
A clinical neuropsychologist will have a doctoral degree from an accredited university training program in psychology. They should also possess a license to practice psychology in their state or province. Currently, it is expected that anyone who presents himself or herself as a clinical neuropsychologist has successfully completed two-years of post-doctoral training, during which they are supervised by a clinical neuropsychologist in the study and practice of clinical neuropsychology and related neurosciences. Knowledge and

Skills: Clinical neuropsychologists use their knowledge of how different areas of the brain are related to different thinking abilities and behavior to assess, diagnose, treat, and/or provide rehabilitation to people with neurologically based difficulties. Such problems can result from medical, neurodevelopmental, and psychiatric conditions, as well as other cognitive and learning disorders. A clinical neuropsychologist will use psychological, neurological, cognitive, behavioral, and physiological principles, techniques, and tests to evaluate a person’s neurocognitive, behavioral, and emotional strengths and weaknesses. These areas of abilities are then related to normal and abnormal central nervous system functioning. . .
