<P>This volume&nbsp;is the first&nbsp;comprehensive resource to assist neuropsychologists to provide culturally competent services to Asian Americans.&nbsp;It&nbsp;highlights&nbsp;pertinent historical socio-cultural characteristics of the largest Asian American ethnic groups, which helps to conceptualize presentation, provide an optimal environment for test administration, interpret tests within a cultural context, and&nbsp;offer culturally sensitive feedback and recommendations. In addition, the volume gives a summary of the available neuropsychological literature for each Asian American ethnic group, recommendations for testing, and illustrative case samples. </P>

<P>The second purpose of the volume is to provide a glimpse of how neuropsychology is currently practiced in different Asian countries, by reviewing the neuropsychological literature and by listing&nbsp;the available&nbsp;resources. This information&nbsp;gives valuable insights to&nbsp;neuropsychologists working with&nbsp;Asian communities throughout the world. </P>
<P><EM>Neuropsychology of Asian Americans</EM> is an essential resource for clinical neuropsychologists and school&nbsp;psychologists who perform&nbsp;neuropsychological&nbsp;services to&nbsp;Asians. It is also an important resource for academic neuropsychologists and students with Asians in their sample, as cultural variables may have moderating effects on data that information in this book&nbsp;helps to elucidate.</P>
