At the Intersection of Personal Narrative, Scientific Inquiry, and Clinical Practice in Cultural Neuropsychology is organized by California Psychological Association (CPA).,Start Date:11/13/2022,End Date:11/1/2023,,Course Description:,This presentation will disclose personal positionality with regard to privilege and the concept of “mestizaje” as a point of departure for articulating a cultural neuropsychology perspective over time. The juxtaposition and differentiation of cross-cultural, indigenous, and cultural psychology perspectives will critically examine some of the basic assumptions of a universalist Neuropsychology. Models of cultural competence, cultural humility, and structural competency will be shared to highlight the disciplinary evolution and shift from an individualistic model of accountability to one that is focused on structural factors that continually perpetuate the status quo. Finally, lessons learned from establishing and growing a clinical bilingual cultural neuropsychology program will be shared as a response to the current crisis generated by a White Neuropsychology lacking in scientific generalizability that is driven by a false monolingual bias and overall “WEIRD” evidence-based science (i.e., Vygotsky’s “crisis in psychology”).This presentation will disclose personal positionality with regard to privilege and the concept of “mestizaje” as a point of departure for articulating a cultural neuropsychology perspective over time.
