When conducting a neuropsychological evaluation, the clinician must develop a contextual knowledge base to fully understand a client's current functioning. Doing so can be especially challenging when the client's cultural background differs from that of the evaluator.
This book helps neuropsychologists enhance their cultural competency, avoid biased assessments, and optimize outcomes for culturally different clients. The author describes strategies for improving communication, selecting valid tests, interpreting results, estimating premorbid functioning, working with translators, and making effective treatment recommendations.
