Neuropsychological Diagnostics for Autoimmune Patients—Methodological Frame for Clinicians

Abstract

Autoimmune syndromes are associated with changes in neuropsychological functioning. Neuropsychological functioning can be altered on cognitive, emotional, and behavioral levels. Understanding and recognizing neuropsychological functions and symptoms are essential for diagnostic procedures in autoimmune patients. These procedures require a solid theoretical foundation and suitable tools for both clinical and scientific settings. The availability of standardized neuropsychological diagnostic tests and batteries with good psychometric properties is the most effective tool for this purpose.
