OBJECTIVE: This invited paper explores the diverse pathways that have led to the development of neuropsychology in Mexico. METHOD: The authors conducted a review of the literature and their own experiences to describe the seminal events and people relevant to the development of this area of research and practice. RESULTS: The master's degree is the usual level of educational attainment for those who wish to practice clinical neuropsychology. As of now, there is not a board certification process in neuropsychology, although there is one in clinical psychology. CONCLUSIONS: Neuropsychology and other mental health disciplines in Mexico and Latin America have historically been poorly funded, and have lacked optimal means of communication as to research findings and clinical initiatives and standards. However, there is reason to think that this will be improved upon in coming years.
