Clinical neuropsychology 1970-1990: a personal view.
In 1970, I assessed the status of a "new discipline", clinical neuropsychology, and optimistically predicted growth and expansion over the next decades. A current assessment in 1990 indicates that the dramatic increase in the number of clinical neuropsychologists and in the scope and magnitude of their professional functioning far exceeds my expectations of two decades ago. Further, there is every indication that clinical neuropsychology will continue to be a challenging, vital, and expanding profession.
