The Diversity in Clinical Neuropsychology series is designed to
highlight cultural and moderator variables involved in the study of
brain-behavior relationships. Historically, the study of psychology
and neuropsychology has focused on the male brain being the
standard to which all or most variables are considered. The study
of sex differences is perhaps the most provoking and far-reaching
aspect of diversity because frequently women have unique assessment
and treatment needs. For example, frontal lobe functioning tends to
be more contextual for women than for men. These brain functions
have behavioral counterparts that directly relate to how
interventions may be tailor made to suit the female rather than
male patient.
The goal in neuropsychology is always to improve diagnosis and
treatment outcomes, and a cohesive summary of the neuropsychology
of the female brain would raise awareness and cultural competency
of clinicians in neuropsychology. Authors will focus on sex
differences in the neuropsychological, cognitive, and development
literature; ethnic and socioeconomic variables affecting diagnosis
and treatment of women; and social/emotional and behavioral
manifestations of neuropsychological sex differences."
