About the Book

When conducting a neuropsychological evaluation, the clinician must develop a contextual knowledge base to fully understand a client's current functioning. Doing so can be especially challenging when the client's cultural background differs from that of the evaluator.

This book helps neuropsychologists enhance their cultural competency, avoid biased assessments, and optimize outcomes for culturally different clients. The author describes strategies for improving communication, selecting valid tests, interpreting results, estimating premorbid functioning, working with translators, and making effective treatment recommendations.
About the Author: Daryl Fujii, PhD, ABPP-CN, is a staff neuropsychologist at the Veterans Affairs Pacific Island Health Care Services Community Living Center and adjunct faculty for the Department of Psychiatry, University of Hawaii. He received his PhD from the University of Wyoming in 1991, interned at the Sepulveda Veterans Administration Medical Center, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific.
