Produktbeschreibung

How to Support the Neuropsychological Health of the Vietnamese Diaspora is the first book in a new series entitled A Clinical Guide to the Neuropsychological Health of Immigrant Populations, which guides clinicians in the art and science of providing culturally competent services to specific communities. Grounded in evidence-based research and clinical experience, the book offers a better understanding of the unique problems and experiences that the Vietnamese population share, along with examples of how to navigate cultural differences in the assessment and treatment of cognitive impairment.

The book reviews the sociocultural and historical factors relevant to those of Vietnamese descent, which help to conceptualize individuals' presentations, common socio-cultural considerations for assessment or treatment, and literature related to working with this population in an international and medical context. It also offers current practice guidelines or approaches to assessment and intervention, along with case studies, a glossary of the necessary cognitive science terms in Vietnamese, and practical resources.

It is essential reading for clinicians in the patient care setting, as well as students and researchers in clinical neuropsychology and related fields of psychology, sociology, medicine and forensics.
