Given how inadequate current imaging technologies are for detecting "mild" brain injury, the neuropsychological evaluation is suggested by many as a good alternative to get "proof" of cognitive disabilities. However, most doctors treat the results as meaningless without the neuropsych's diagnostic impression. Does any one have advice/experience dealing with a neuropsychologist who ignores areas of difficulty/tries to fit everything into a purely "psychological" framework? Is there any way to get around this by having a second neuropsych re-evaluate one's results?

For instance, my tests showed up major discrepancies between premorbid functioning/academic performance levels and neuropsych results. They also showed extreme deficiencies in visual perceptual reasoning, executive function, working memory and visual memory. Neuropsych suggested these were premorbid weaknesses?!
