It was not until the 1980s when the students graduated from psychology began to work in areas other than psychiatry department in hospitals in Taiwan. The development of neuropsychology in various hospitals was different due to the emphasis of each clinical setting. Clinical psychologists in neurological settings have involved in various clinical activities such as: (1) performing neuropsychological assessment for neurological patients; (2) developing and modifying neuropsychological or cognitive assessment instrument for clinical and research purposes; (3) assessing cognitive function for demented patients; (4) involving in epidemiological studies, severity staging, drug trail, memory training, and ethical problems of dementia; (5) participating in medical teaching and clinical training for medical and clinical psychology interns; and (6) helping in public education and in family consultation for neurological patients.
