Ethical Controversies in Neuropsychological Test Selection, Administration, and Interpretation

Abstract

Due to the lack of uniform agreement on certain aspects of neuropsychological assessment practice, ethical issues can arise. Ethical controversies related to some of the most basic assessment practices of the clinical neuropsychologist are addressed. Current controversies related to neuropsychological test selection, test administration, and test interpretation are discussed and illustrated by case vignettes. Brief analyses of the ethical ramifications of the controversies are offered, followed by suggestions and recommendations for dealing with these conflicts. By resolving these conflicts as a discipline, more consistent standards of neuropsychological practice could be established, which would be of ultimate benefit to both professional and consumer alike.
