Full Description
Clinical neuropsychologists can encounter various challenges when conducting a cross-cultural evaluation. This book offers practical advice for developing a cultural context to better understand clients and reduce assessment bias, enhance test validity, and optimize treatment recommendations.
When conducting a neuropsychological evaluation, the clinician must develop a contextual knowledge base to fully understand a client amp rsquo s current functioning. Doing so can be especially challenging when the client amp rsquo 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.
