    Reviews the book, The Neuropsychology of Asian Americans edited by Daryl E. M. Fujii (see record 2010-22283-000). The Neuropsychology of Asian Americans fills in an important gap in the existing literature on neuropsychology as it specifically relates to Asian American cultural groups. Each chapter covers one particular Asian or Asian American subgroup and provides useful information for neuropsychologists on pertinent issues related to this group. Each chapter is clearly written and comprehensively yet succinctly describes relevant historical and contextual information, such as each group’s immigration history, as well as recommendations for neuropsychological testing. Although this book does a far better job than most resources at highlighting differences among Asian American subgroups, further specificity would be useful. Another limitation is a lack of consistency and conciseness in the way the chapters present their information. This book is geared toward neuropsychological testing and is recommended as a useful resource for anyone who works with Asian Americans in a clinical or therapeutic context as well.
