"This volume is the first comprehensive resource to assist neuropsychologists to provide culturally competent services to Asian-Americans. It highlights pertinent historical socio-cultural
characteristics of the largest Asian-American ethnic groups, which helps to conceptualize presentation, provide an optimal environment for test administration, interpret tests within a cultural
context, and offer culturally sensitive feedback and recommendations. In addition, the volume gives a summary of the availableneuropsychological literature for each Asian-American ethnic group,
recommendations for testing, and illustrative case samples. The second purpose of the volume is to provide a glimpse of how neuropsychology is currently practiced in different Asian countries,
by reviewing the neuropsychological literature and by listing the available resources. This information gives valuable insights to neuropsychologists working with Asian communities throughout
the world. Neuropsychology of Asian-Americans is an essential resource for clinical neuropsychologists and school psychologists who perform neuropsychological services to Asians. It is also an
important resource for academic neuropsychologists and students with Asians in their sample, as cultural variables mayhave moderating effects on data that information in this proposed book
helps to elucidate"--Provided by publisher.
