Past, present, and future of neuropsychology in Argentina
Abstract Objective: To describe the history, current situation, and future challenges of Argentinian neuropsychology. Method: A brief historical description highlighting the most representative authors and publications is made. In addition, a survey was administered to a sample of 135 neuropsychologists practicing neuropsychology in Argentina. The survey explored the current neuropsychological practices among the respondents. Results: Results show that most Argentinian neuropsychologists are: psychologists, women, and work in the clinical field in the country’s major cities. Besides, the practice of neuropsychology is mostly unregulated with few training opportunities. Conclusions: Argentinian neuropsychology emerged from neurology in the early twentieth century and slowly progressed until the 1960s when the first organized research groups were created. Since then, a substantial and steady progress followed. However, more training opportunities and a better regulation of the discipline are needed. No similar studies have been conducted in the past, thus becoming one of the first to describe the development of neuropsychology in Argentina.
