Abstract

Numerous ethical challenges may arise over the course of neuropsychological assessment. This paper highlights the ethical considerations associated with neuropsychological assessment of individuals with traumatic brain injury. Issues regarding professional competency, providing and obtaining informed consent, neuropsychological test selection and administration, effectively communicating assessment results, and working as part of a multidisciplinary team are discussed with practical recommendations. Ultimately, a comprehensive understanding of these issues as well as an integration of resources to guide clinical practice will contribute to ethical decision-making and strong professional practice.
