The Neuropsychology of Asian Americans

This volume is the first comprehensive resource to assist neuropsychologists to provide culturally competent services to Asian Americans, provide an optimal environment for test administration, interpret tests within a cultural context, and give culturally sensitive feedback and recommendations. It also provides an insight of how neuropsychology is currently practiced in different Asian countries.
