“Stucky and Bush have provided a unique and easy-to-use set of materials to provide both those in training, as well as those providing supervision or mentoring, with applied didactic experiences in the area of clinical neuropsychological case formulation. This is a timely and important contribution that fills a gap in the field by offering systematic ways to pursue 'fact finding' in an evidence-based manner. Both the diversity and the graded level of complexity of the cases make the book attractive to a wide range of practitioners. It will be a go-to resource for all who want to improve their competencies in case conceptualization, differential diagnosis, and treatment planning.>
