"Case studies are making a comeback in neuropsychology, especially for teaching. They are memorable and come closer to teaching the skill of neuropsychology than abstract knowledge can. Mistakes are especially memorable, but also shameful and so they are understudied. I salute the courage and wisdom of these thoughtful and skilled authors in modeling for all of us how to learn from our mistakes in assessment and treatment. If, through their example, we can all learn to focus on the lessons of our mistakes, we may be able to improve and accelerateneuropsychological training."Ted Judd, Clinical Neuropsychologist and Cross-Cultural Specialist, Associate Professor Seattle Pacific University"A decidedly human and entertaining account of some of the mistakes we can make while learning and practicing our profession. A very useful resource for training and expanding our development."George P. Prigatano, Ph.D.,Emeritus Chairman of Clinical Neuropsychology, Barrow Neurological Institute “I have no hesitation in recommending it to any practitioner psychologist, not just those who might share my own curiosity about neuropsychology. The reason for this recommendation is the book’s clear and helpful focus on the importance of the oft-neglected area of how to truly learn from our mistakes.…who might enjoy and benefit from having this book? Well, I would suggest potentially all reflective psychology practitioners, particularly those who provide clinical super[1]vision to colleagues. However, I would also agree with the suggestion on the cover that it is also likely to prove valuable reading for psychiatrists, neurologists and other rehabilitation therapists.”Richard Melling, Educational Psychologist (Independent Practitioner), UK
