Historically, relatively few investigations in neuropsychology have been
sensitive to the analysis of cultural variables. This handbook will
assist the neuropsychologist interested in cultural competence and help
increase understanding of the link between cultural competence in
assessment and intervention and good treatment outcomes.
The handbook authors provide an in-depth discussion of the current
status of multicultural training in neuropsychology; specific
information on diverse groups (age, gender, ethnicity, etc.), assessment
instruments, and clinical populations (HIV infected, seizure disorders,
brain injuries); and unique analysis of immigration patterns, forensics,
and psychopharmacology.
This volume is the first to summarize the cultural data available in
neuropsychology. A valuable resource for clinical neuropsychologists,
school psychologists and rehabilitation professionals.
