PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

There have been numerous books published that have dealt with psychological assessment. These books have ranged from the theoretical to the clinical. However, most of the pragmatics involved in the day-to-day activities of the psychological assessor often have been neglected in the press.

In light of the above, the primary objective of Psychological Assessment in Clinical Practice is to provide the reader(students and practitioners alike) with the realities of conducting psychological assessment in clinical settings where there is not the availability of a plethora of research assistants and staff. Indeed, most individuals end up being solo practitioners or at best work in settings where they must conduct assessment themselves. This multi-authored book, then, details the specifics as to how this is done.

Critic Reviews

"Psychological Assessment in Clinical Practice contains up-to-date information regarding methods of assessment for an array of common adult and childhood behavioral disorders. This book is an excellent reference for clinicians, and will be viewed as a welcome addition to the applied psychologist's library." -- Alan M. Gross, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology and Director of Clinical Training, University of Mississippi
