By 2010, 15% of the U.S. population will be Hispanic. Neuropsychology and the Hispanic Patient: A Clinical Handbook brings together internationally recognized authorities to address the cultural, methodological, research, and forensic issues that must be considered by neuropsychologists seeking to be maximally effective in their work with members of the fastest-growing American minority group. It includes: * useful assessment decision trees; * summaries of normative data; * descriptions of tests available in Spanish; * extensive HIV and pediatric references; and * numerous charts and illustrations. Reflecting the latest demographic information and covering the developmental spectrum from pediatric to geriatric, this landmark Handbook will become an indispensable reference tool for clinicians and researchers alike.

The role of culture is significant when measuring cognitive abilities during neuropsychological assessments. However, cultural diversity is a frequently overlooked moderating variable. The International Handbook of Cross-Cultural Neuropsychology emphasizes major distinctions among cultural groups in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia to heighten awareness of nuances, as well as culturally-influenced differences and similarities. The goal of this important handbook is to view assessments and rehabilitation from different perspectives, thereby offering opportunities for increasing knowledge and understanding, while improving clinical skills and laying the groundwork for establishing international and cross-culture collaborations. Clinical judgment can be colored by previous experiences from different cultures, expectancy rates of pathology among certain groups, and differences in socioeconomic levels. As clinical experiences increase with people from different cultures, the limitations of neuropsychological tools to make accurate assessments become evident. It is through gaining knowledge about the values of a different culture that neuropsychologists can develop a cross-cultural understanding.Professionals in areas such as neuropsychology, cross-cultural psychology, and social psychology, to name a few, will find the material in this volume to be a stimulating addition to existing literature.

La historia del patriarca José, a quién el autor define como: «un inmigrante indocumentado que cambió la historia del imperio más poderoso de su tiempo», es la más conocida y repetida de toda la Historia Sagrada fuera de la del propio Jesús. El recurso biográfico más utilizado por catequistas y maestros para ilustrar, con trazos de aventura fascinante, la manera singular en la que Dios premia la virtud y castiga la desobediencia.La vida de José, vista desde el prisma de la psicología y aplicando a su entorno familiar un modelo relacional de dinámicas conductuales, adquiere un cariz muy distinto: el de una experiencia turbulenta cargada de elementos disfuncionales. Lo que no fue impedimento, sin embargo, para que Dios la utilizara como medio adecuado para el advenimiento del Mesías Redentor.La historia de José aporta, por tanto, un mensaje especialmente poderoso para nuestras vidas; porque además de la experiencia individual, nos habla de la experiencia familiar como cuna de nuestro trasfondo conductual, con toda su patología. Es el prototipo perfecto para adentrarnos en el análisis de nuestras problemáticas familiares del siglo XXI, a la luz de los más recientes descubrimientos de la psicología contemporánea y sus estudio empíricos del comportamiento humano, desde una perspectiva bíblica, Y eso es exactamente lo que hace en las páginas es este libro el autor, un distinguido profesional de la neuropsicología, profesor en la UCLA y en el Fuller Theological Seminary, y que plantea como el primero de una trilogía basada en las diversas etapas en la vida de José, representadas por las distintas túnicas que vistió:La túnica del padre, en el caso de José la túnica multicolor; y que simboliza todas las dinámicas con la que nuestras familias funcionan o “disfuncionan”.La túnica del trabajo, en el caso de José la túnica de mayordomo en casa Potifar; y que simboliza nuestra actividad laboral en un contexto ajeno, así como la madurez y crecimiento necesarios para alcanzar nuestros sueños.Y La túnica de lino fino, en el caso de José la túnica con la que le invistió Faraón como gobernante de todo Egipto; y que simboliza nuestro potencial pleno hacia el cual hemos sido llamados y al que debemos aspirar.
