Stories from the Ends of the Earth – serie

Interviewing Neuropsychological Rehabilitation: (Volume I: Beginnings) offers a reflective and dialogical exploration of the origins of neuropsychological rehabilitation through the voices of those who helped shape its early development. Compiled and edited by Dr. Christian Salas, this volume brings together a series of in-depth interviews that trace how the field emerged—not as a predefined discipline, but as a set of practices, ideas, and encounters that gradually took form across time and contexts.Focusing on the formative years of neuropsychological rehabilitation, Beginnings examines the intellectual, clinical, and personal trajectories that contributed to its foundation. Through conversations with leading figures such as George Prigatano, Barbara Wilson, Anne-Lise Christensen, Lance Trexler, Masahiro Nochi, Mark Ylvisaker, Pamela Klonoff, Jill Winegardner, Tedd Judd, Jennie Ponsford and Elena Márquez, the volume highlights how the field was shaped by interdisciplinary influences, institutional developments, and the lived experiences of clinicians and patients alike. Rather than presenting a linear history, the book reveals a field constructed through dialogue, experimentation, and the ongoing negotiation between theory and practice.Set against the backdrop of Chile—whose name means “the ends of the earth”—the book adopts a decolonial and cross-cultural perspective, situating these stories within a broader global context and foregrounding the relational and situated nature of knowledge production. In doing so, it portrays neuropsychological rehabilitation not as a finished body of knowledge, but as a discipline whose beginnings remain present in its current practices.This volume will be of interest to clinicians, researchers, and students in clinical neuropsychology, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and allied health fields seeking to understand how the discipline came into being and how its foundational ideas continue to shape contemporary practice.

Interviewing Neuropsychological Rehabilitation: Volume II Becomings, in the Stories from the Ends of the Earth series, offers a reflective and dialogical exploration of neuropsychological rehabilitation through the voices of those who have shaped—and continue to shape—the field. Compiled and edited by Dr. Christian Salas, this volume brings together a series of in-depth interviews that illuminate how the discipline has evolved not as a finished body of knowledge, but as an ongoing process of construction, adaptation, and expansion.While the first volume traced the origins and foundational developments of neuropsychological rehabilitation, Becomings focuses on what the field is becoming. It captures a moment in which the discipline is widening its scope—moving beyond its traditional cognitive and functional focus to engage more explicitly with dimensions that were historically present but often underemphasized. Through conversations with leading figures such as Jon Evans, Rudi Coetzer, Urvashi Shah, Ann Watts, Sofía Braga, Barbara Wilson, Ann Norup, Giles Yeates, Fergus Gracey and Skye McDonald, this volume highlights the growing relevance of themes such as identity reconstruction, emotional life, interpersonal relationships, and the role of family and community in recovery.Set against the backdrop of Chile—whose name means “the ends of the earth”—the book maintains a decolonial and cross-cultural perspective, foregrounding voices and practices that extend beyond traditional centers of knowledge production. In doing so, it portrays neuropsychological rehabilitation as a dynamic, evolving, and deeply human practice.This volume will be of interest to clinicians, researchers, and students in clinical neuropsychology, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and allied health fields seeking to understand not only where the discipline comes from, but where it is going.
