This volume in the Wiley Essentials of Psychological Assessment series provides mental health professionals and students with quick reference data for cross-battery assessments using any of the major intelligence tests. Here in one location is a comprehensive set of the most impressive papers I've read on new ways of thinking about and measuring intelligence. In light of recent advances in intelligence theory and research, this is the first comprehensive volume which provides an analysis and synthesis of the major intelligence batteries according to contemporary theory and research. This is a well organized, clearly written text that takes the reader step by step through the DSM-IV process. It presents a strong rationale for the use of the DSM-IV in schools and points to the importance of developing a clinical perspective within the field of school psychology.
Case examples illustrate how each step of the examination contributes to the conclusions.
Subjects include those with learning disabilities, developmental problems, attentional difficulties, cultural differences and family and emotional factors.
