The Neuropsychologist's Workbook A Hands-On Roadmap to Training and Developing Your Career

Unlock your career in neuropsychology with this practical workbook for aspiring professionals.

This is a hands-on, practical workbook to accompany The Neuropsychologist’s Roadmap: A Training and Career Guide. This workbook covers the training journey in neuropsychology, as well as its foundational and functional competencies. The workbook allows readers to access additional information, benefit from even more advice, and engage interactively with activities such as self-assessments, checklists, free writing exercises, and more. These activities help the reader reflect on and articulate personal values and goals to help guide them through their own journey. Using this workbook will help readers recognize their own strengths and weaknesses, so they know what they need to work on when considering the factors impacting entry into (and success within) graduate school, internship, fellowship, and the first job. This is a valuable resource for anyone considering a career in neuropsychology or those who train, supervisor, or mentor students in this field.
