Clinical Neuropsychologist · taxonomy 103G00000X
What this licence covers
Clinical neuropsychologists are psychologists with additional training in how brain conditions affect thinking and behaviour. Their work is weighted toward assessment — memory, attention and executive function testing after a head injury, stroke or suspected dementia — more than ongoing talk therapy.
The formal definition
A clinical psychologist who applies principles of assessment and intervention based upon the scientific study of human behavior as it relates to normal and abnormal functioning of the central nervous system. The specialty is dedicated to enhancing the understanding of brain-behavior relationships and the application of such knowledge to human problems.

Many also hold another licence
different training route, same personThese are registrations where the same person also holds a licence of a genuinely different kind — not the same qualification recorded twice. It is worth knowing because it widens what someone can work with: a counsellor who is also a social worker brings a different second toolkit than one who is also a behaviour analyst.
