Resumen

It is argued by some that neuropsychology is in crisis, its viability under threat. This chapter reviews the challenges faced by the field of neuropsychology in our globalized, multi-cultural world. Challenges exist within countries with well-established neuropsychology services that are seeking to better serve all members of the community whatever their cultural and linguistic background. Challenges also exist in countries without an established tradition of neuropsychological science and practice. Solutions to address these challenges are offered in this chapter, including short-term practical changes in practice that will immediately improve the validity of cross-cultural assessments, and long-term changes designed to reduce problems of access to neuropsychological services and improve the precision of neuropsychological assessment of people from all cultural backgrounds.
