In addition to providing an excellent overview of the foundational skills for clinical interviewing--as well as for behavioral observations and collateral interviewing--this text presents the specialized knowledge needed to interview patients in particular settings and with different neuropsychological presentations. This book will have great value to my graduate students as a complement to learning neuropsychological tests in their neuropsychological assessment course or during their first neuropsychological practicum placement. The user-friendly tables will enhance the book's utility for me as a clinical supervisor when patients with more infrequent neurological or neuropsychological presentations are seen in our training clinic. --Julie A. Suhr, PhD, Professor and Director of Clinical Training, Department of Psychology, Ohio University-
