A neuropsychodiagnostic model.

Central Nervous System pathology in children is regarded as a neurophysiological and/or neuroanatomical disorder leading to the production of a broad spectrum of symptomatic indicators, many of which are psychological in nature. This fundamental relationship between neurological integrity and various categories of psychopathology represents the theoretical core of a specific diagnostic rationale elaborated in the context of a neuropsychodiagnostic model. A battery of psychological tests, as one component of a more general assessment approach, is proposed as a psychoeducational method complementing the more traditional medical approach to the diagnosis of various neuropathological conditions in children, especially minimal brain damage/dysfunction.
