Episode Synopsis

Currently, the most comprehensive study of neurological functioning, seems to be the "full" neuropsychological testing.  Some doctors push just the MMPI-2 at our community and call it and accurate test of cortical and neurological functioning.  It's not a full test and it's often used in the wrong way to make it seem like someone is malingering. Tonight, I'll go over what malingering stands for and why this test is more harmful than helpful in litigation after a brain injury.  We will go over the many test's that should be done to consider testing "complete" and accurate.  I will discuss "GAF" scores and their meaning.  There will also be updates from the Teamhilevel from the Teamhilevel group as well as the new 4peer11 hotline.  424-243-9540 to listen in on your phone, press "1" to ask a question.  www.braininjuryradio.com to join in on the live chat during the show.
