Utility of the Concept of Brain Damage for the School Psychologist

Friedman, Ronald

J Sch Psychol, 7, 4, 27-31, 68-69

Brain damage remains a medical diagnosis; it does not provide a useful practical framework within which the psychologist and educator can operate. The school psychologist should abandon the concept of brain damage and turn to problems which will benefit more from his attention. (Author)
