The Bender Gestalt II- An Underutilized Tool in Brief Neurological Screening

Abstract

Although the Bender Gestalt has a long history of use in psychological and neurological assessment, evaluation and screening, it’s recent revision has received less attention. This paper provides a cursory overview of the revised Bender Gestalt, discusses the revisions, and proves some information as to its current use and discusses the need for more empirical research with different populations. It is hoped that this paper will sensitize readers to the use of this revised instrument.
