Minority and Cross-Cultural Neuropsychological Assessment pulls together neuropsychological assessment issues across a wide range of minority groups and populations currently underserved. Included are chapters related to African-Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Hispanic/Latinos, Native Americans, and Rural Populations. Some minority groups have not been as widely studied or examined as other groups from a neuropsychological assessment perspective. This book will fill this obvious void. Other chapters are devoted to traditions and trends in clinical neuropsychology, and there is a section that examines the future of minority and cross-cultural issues in neuropsychological assessment. The current literature regarding minority and cross-cultural issues in neuropsychological assessment is quite scattered and it is the goal of this book to provide a more thorough review and refinement of the issues presented.

The authors bridge a gap in current research and methodology by presenting neuropsychological tests geared toward Spanish speakers. They begin with a review of cultural and educational factors affecting neuropsychological assessment, and provide norms for Spanish speakers, emphasising elderly and illiterate populations. Nineteen tests are included in English and Spanish with detailed explantions of administration and scoring.
