More About This Title HANDBOOK OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT SECOND EDITION
English
This comprehensive text provides a practical framework for selecting, administering, interpreting and integrating data from commonly used methods of clinical psychological assessment. More than a codebook or list of possible interpretations of tests, it stresses integrating data as a means of solving problems and making informed decisions. The first two chapters deal with introductory principles of assessment including historical trends, evaluating tests, issues, and guidelines, psychological assessment within the general medical, legal, educational, psychological and psychiatric contexts. The middle chapters (3-11) cover methods of collecting information including interviewing, behavioral assessment, Wechsler intelligence scales, Bender Gestalt, Rorschach, Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and other means. The final chapter provides specific guidelines for report writing, detailed formats and four sample reports. Revised and updated for this Second Edition, the text stresses interrelationships among test scores, history, observational data, and other forms of input as being essential for arriving at accurate psychological assessment.
