• Abstract:

  In the era of globalized societies and increased migration, neuropsychology is faced with multifaceted social challenges that must lead to a paradigm shift in research, assessment and treatment approaches.
  The intersection of diverse cultures, languages, and socioeconomic contexts poses significant obstacles, requiring the evolution of neuropsychological practices to ensure equitable and effective mental health care across global populations. As the field grapples with the complexities introduced by globalization and migration, addressing cultural nuances, strengthening cross-cultural competence, and developing inclusive frameworks will become imperative to advance understanding and treatment of disruptions. neurological and psychological issues on a global scale.
  When discussing the impact of migration and globalization on neuropsychology, it is essential to draw on a range of sources, including studies that examine cultural influences, immigration, technological advances, and global mental health policies. Although there is little specific literature that directly addresses the impact of globalization and migration on neuropsychology, there is evidence in related areas such as psychology, psychiatry and healthcare.
  This exploratory study delves into the impact of migration and globalization on neuropsychology, with particular emphasis on cross-cultural neuropsychology, ethical considerations, and future trends.
