Download PRETITLE Feedback that Sticks: The Art of Effectively Communicating Neuropsychological Assessment Results [Hardcover] POSTTITLE from mediafire, rapishare, and mirror link This book is about how to give outstanding feedback to patients, their family members, and other professionals. Effective feedback sessions have the potential to help patients understand their neurocognitive syndromes in the larger context of their real world environments and in a manner that positively alters lives.
As our profession has matured, feedback sessions with patients and family members have become the norm rather than the exception. Nonetheless, many senior and even mid-career neuropsychologists were never explicitly taught how to give feedback. And despite the burgeoning neuropsychological literature describing sophisticated assessment methods and neuropsychological syndromes, there has been almost no parallel literature describing techniques for communicating this information to patients and other professionals. This begs the question: how have we learned to do this extraordinary task well? And how do we effectively communicate intrinsically complex assessment results, to deliver the type of salient feedback that alters lives? It turns out, the answers are like feedback sessions themselves - varied and complex.
Feedback that Sticks presents a compilation of the clinical feedback strategies of over 85 neuropsychologists from all over the country: training directors, members of tertiary medical teams, and private practitioners. It offers the reader the ability to be a fly on the wall as these seasoned neuropsychologists share feedback strategies they use with patients across the lifespan, and who present with a wide variety of neurological and developmental conditions. Like receiving the best feedback training from 85 different mentors, the book gathers the most compelling, accessible ways of explaining complex neuropsychological concepts from a broad variety of practitioners. Through this process, it offers a unique opportunity for practicing neuropsychologists to develop, broaden, and strengthen their own approaches to feedback.

Feedback that Sticks: The Art of Effectively Communicating Neuropsychological Assessment Results PDF
This very well-organized and in-depth book provided me with some new ways to 'frame' results to families as well as validating the very same conversations I've had with families. That in itself, was so reassuring that I was using the same examples and framework that others have been using. And, I might add, these folks quoted in the book are members of the most-respected community and I have always valued their insights...having said that, I appreciated the confirmation that my feedback talks were 'spot-on'.By Logan Rivers
Many, many thanks Karen and Kira, you also included other ways to conceptualize more challenging results.

As an attorney who represents families with children with disabilities, I have found this book to be a valuable resource. The information about neuropsychological disorders and what the conditions may mean for the child in the context of his or her family, ability to make educational progress, peer relationships, etc., has helped me to better advocate for my clients.By Constance M. Hilton
