Recenzje

"This matchless volume offers a defining culturally based neuropsychology resource. We owe deep appreciation to the Editor for assembling an exceptional group of scholars using evidence-based scholarly inquiry and case exemplars from around the world. The experienced authors share their insights and personal reflections in a manner no other text provides. This well-organized text offers practical skills and is a must have for my shelf and yours." - Marc A Norman, Ph.D., ABPP-CN, University of California, San Diego

"Not just that we should have broader knowledge and awareness, but a place to begin the dive into the impossibly beautiful, complicated intersection of brain and behavior in the context of culture." - Karen Postal, Ph.D., ABPP-CN, Clinical Instructor in Psychology, Harvard Medical School

With elaborate and consistently well-crafted detail, this book addresses the complex and multi-layered topic of cultural diversity, the most timely and important issue confronting clinical neuropsychologists in all parts of the world. International experts deliver impressive and authoritative guidance, including compelling applications of original and widely-used normative data. - Jerry J. Sweet, Ph.D., ABPP; Emeritus, NorthShore University HealthSystem, Evanston, Illinois, USA.
