Interviewing Neuropsychological Rehabilitation: Volume II Becomings, in the Stories from the Ends of the Earth series, offers a reflective and dialogical exploration of neuropsychological rehabilitation through the voices of those who have shaped—and continue to shape—the field. Compiled and edited by Dr. Christian Salas, this volume brings together a series of in-depth interviews that illuminate how the discipline has evolved not as a finished body of knowledge but as an ongoing process of construction, adaptation, and expansion.

While the first volume traced the origins and foundational developments of neuropsychological rehabilitation, Becomings focuses on what the field is becoming. It captures a moment in which the discipline is widening its scope—moving beyond its traditional cognitive and functional focus to engage more explicitly with dimensions that were historically present but often underemphasized. Through conversations with leading figures such as Jon Evans, Rudi Coetzer, Urvashi Shah, Ann D. Watts, Lucia Braga, Barbara Wilson, Anne Norup, Giles Yeates, Fergus Gracey, and Skye McDonald, this volume highlights the growing relevance of themes such as identity reconstruction, emotional life, interpersonal relationships, and the role of family and community in recovery.

Set against the backdrop of Chile—whose name means “the ends of the earth”—the book maintains a decolonial and cross-cultural perspective, foregrounding voices and practices that extend beyond traditional centers of knowledge production. In doing so, it portrays neuropsychological rehabilitation as a dynamic, evolving, and deeply human practice.

This volume will be of interest to clinicians, researchers, and students in clinical neuropsychology, rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and allied health fields who seek to understand not only where the discipline comes from but also where it is going.
