Working with the Brain in Psychology by Lynn A Schaefer

Working with the Brain in Psychology by Lynn A Schaefer

This text seeks to assist students in their career exploration, by introducing them early, in the contemplative stage of career planning, to the branch of psychology known as neuropsychology. It differentiates neuropsychology from alternative career paths, and provides contributions from neuropsychologists in various settings.

"We wish this book had been there to share with all those curious minds that we have taught who wondered about the brainThis book is a necessary companion for both students interested in psychology's fastest-growing and most exciting specialty, clinical neuropsychology, and all of us that want to provide direction and wisdom about the wonders of the brain and the many opportunities for careers that accompany a vocation dedicated to the brain and those afflicted with brain disease."

"Drs. Schaefer and Bertisch have filled a void in American education by targeting an intriguing STEM career in clinical neuropsychology as an aspirational goal for high school and for undergraduate college students. The authors have performed a masterful job in providing a detailed and systematic pathway to eventual success in this pursuit at a stage in student’s educational development often devoid of specific guidance. This book not only will be invaluable to students and to their families, it will have the extended benefit of opening a pipeline for qualified professionals to treat the many health and behavioral problems confronting our society across the lifespan from childhood through advanced age."

Allan Yozawitz, Ph.D., ABPP-CN, Board Certified in Clinical Neuropsychology, Fellow, American Psychological Association
