<p>The male brain has traditionally set the standard in the neuroscientific literature, whether the topic was normal development or pathological conditions; yet complex factors contribute to women having assessment and treatment needs apart from those of men. The current volume in the <em>Diversity in Clinical Neuropsychology</em> series, <em>The Neuropsychology of Women</em> is the first resource to focus exclusively on these factors.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The contributing panel of neuropsychologists and researchers offers the reader a thorough grounding in female brain functioning in developmental, cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and pathology contexts while also raising and addressing significant questions about socioeconomic variables that frequently result in compromised care. A deeper awareness of these data enhances readers’ clinical knowledge, leading to more accurate assessment and diagnosis, suitably tailored interventions, and better treatment outcomes in these chapter areas:</p>
<p></p>
<ul> <p> </p><li>Traumatic brain injury.</li> <p></p>
<p> </p><li>Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.</li> <p></p>
<p> </p><li>Learning disabilities.</li> <p></p>
<p> </p><li>Eating disorders.</li> <p></p>
<p> </p><li>Seizure disorders.</li> <p></p>
<p> </p><li>Psychopathological conditions.</li> <p></p></ul> <p></p>
<p><em>The Neuropsychology of Women</em> is a major step forward in the cultural competence literature, deserving of a wide audience among neuropsychologists (hospital-based, academic, private practice), clinical psychologists, and rehabilitation professionals.</p>
