The Need For Teaching Neuropsychology In The Department Of Psychology
Authors : Ali Benmesmoudi .
Abstract
The field of study called “Neuropsychology” is a common area between two great disciplines: Psychology and Neurology. The simplest definition of Neuropsychology has been provided by Stephen Hallett in his book entitled “Neuropsychology”: ‘it is the study of the relationship between brain structure and behavior’(1). This Definition relates the unseen brain functions, whether they reflect a normal process or a dysfunction, to the observed behavior, whether it is a linguistic behavior or a social one; we are concerned with looking for a possible link between brain and behavior. It is also useful to mention the definition given by Graham Beaumont when he says: ‘Neuropsychology as one of the Neurosciences, seeks to understand the relationship between the brain and behavior, that is, it attempts to explain the way in which the activity of the brain is expressed in observable behavior’
