Synthesizing and advancing the important work from seemingly disparate fields, this timely volume is essential reading for trainees, clinicians, and investigators seeking to more fully understand the multifactorial influences of culture and neurobiology on behavior and neuropsychological functions. Otto Pedraza has gathered an impressive group of experts whose contributions to this book will help practitioners and scientists better recognize and address the challenges present in the ever-growing diversity reflected in our patient and study populations. * John A. Lucas, John A. Lucas, PhD, ABPP, Professor of Psychology, Mayo Clinic *
Unquestioningly, a must own. The authors take us on a historical journey from early philosophers to contemporary translational medicine, molecular genetics, and mobile technologies.Dr. Pedraza and colleagues should be congratulated for integrating culture and neuroscience with best clinical practices. As a single-source textbook, this is an invaluable resource. * Marc Norman, Marc Norman, PhD, ABPP, Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Diego *
In Clinical Cultural Neuroscience, Otto Pedraza enlists experts in culture, psychology, and neuroscience to discuss the latest evidence on topics ranging from language and memory to visual perception and attention, all within the context of health and disease. This volume dives into a complex truth: that humans are fully cultural and fully biological, and the mind cannot be understood completely without a multidisciplinary and multi-level approach. * Joni Y. Sasaki, Joni Y. Sasaki, PhD, Assistant Professor of Psychology, University of Hawai?i at Manoa *
