THE LANDMARK REFERENCE FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT, UPDATED WITH THE LATEST RESEARCH AND GUIDELINES

The Handbook of Psychological Assessment provides students and clinicians with practical instruction on selecting, administering, interpreting, and using the results of assessment procedures. This new sixth edition features a variety of updates, including the latest research, DSM-5™ and ICD-10 guidelines, and the new WISC®-V, WAIS®-IV, and MMPI®-2 RF. A new chapter on the NEO™-PI-3 aids in adult and adolescent assessment based on the Five-Factor Model of personality, and a new chapter on the Personality Assessment Inventory provides the empirical support behind its increasing popularity. All assessments covered were selected on the basis of clinical relevance and widespread use, and the discussion has been newly enhanced to emphasize diversity. Each chapter guides you through data evaluation and interpretation, and a discussion devoted to treatment planning helps you integrate assessment results into your reports. Detailed, practical, and well-referenced, this book is among the clinician's most trusted resources.
