Vivian L. Begali

Vivian L. Begali, PsyD, is a clinical neuropsychologist based in North Chesterfield, Virginia, whose work centers on neuropsychological assessment and the psychological dimensions of neurorehabilitation. She is licensed in Virginia and maintains an independent practice in the Richmond area.

Her published work, appearing in the journal NeuroRehabilitation, addresses two areas of particular relevance to legal and clinical contexts: the application of neuropsychological and psychological methods in neurorehabilitation settings, and the differential diagnosis and clinical management of dementia spectrum conditions, including the forensic utility of neuropsychological evaluation in those cases. The latter topic reflects a focused interest in how neuropsychological findings translate to medico-legal questions surrounding cognitive impairment and dementia.
