Ferraro’s newly edited book continues to provide a solid foundation in cross-cultural neuropsychology and address existing gaps in the literature that characterizes historically under-studied and under-represented groups. Such clinical, empirical and theoretical insights are key in improving the quality of care provided to cultural and ethnic minorities.—H.

A must-read for psychologists who aspire to achieve best practices in working with culturally and linguistically diverse groups.—Mariana Cherner, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of California San DiegoThis is an important book that covers a wide range of topics regarding neuropsychological assessment. I was particularly pleased to see many chapters on future issues that relate to neuropsychology and ethnic minority populations.—Jeffrey S. Mio, Ph.D., Professor, Psychology and Sociology Department, California State Polytechnic University, PomonaFerraro’s superb new edition contributes to a culturally rich neuropsychology with a stellar cast of authors who provide clinically sensitive, but also cutting-edge, information across a range of relevant theoretical and practical topics. —David E. Tupper, Ph.D., ABPP/CN, Director, Neuropsychology Section, Hennepin County Medical Center and Professor of Neurology, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis
