Case studies are making a comeback in neuropsychology, especially for teaching. They are memorable and come closer to teaching the skill of neuropsychology than abstract knowledge can. Mistakes are especially memorable, but also shameful and so they are understudied. I salute the courage and wisdom of these thoughtful and skilled authors in modeling for all of us how to learn from our mistakes in assessment and treatment. If, through their example, we can all learn to focus on the lessons of our mistakes, we may be able to improve and accelerate neuropsychological training. Ted Judd, Clinical Neuropsychologist and Cross-Cultural Specialist, Associate Professor Seattle Pacific University A decidedly human and entertaining account of some of the mistakes we can make while learning and practicing our profession. A very useful resource for training and expanding our development. George P. Prigatano, Ph.D., Emeritus Chairman of Clinical Neuropsychology, Barrow Neurological Institute
