title: Neuropsychological assessment of battered women: a pilot study.
abstract: Mean performance of 19 battered women was significantly lower than that of 9 control women on the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Battery, the Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised, and the Quick Neurological Screening Test. 58% of the battered women scored in the impaired range on the Halstead-Reitan Impairment Index; and 53% scored in the impaired range on the Quick Neurological Screening Test. More definitive research was recommended.
