Abstract
The academic discipline of neuropsychology is founded on the study of rare cases; people with focal brain injuries whose specific cognitive impairments provided a wealth of information about the structure of the human mind and spawning more box-and-arrow diagrams than it would be feasible to count. These disciplines converge in the profession of clinical neuropsychology, and the range of skills clinical neuropsychologists possess applies extremely well to the care of people with complex neurological conditions. As head of a neuropsychology department within a busy regional neurosciences centre, ‘rare’, ‘controversial’, and ‘difficult to diagnose’ cases are encountered at what may seem like a paradoxically frequent rate.
