Description: In this volume, over 50 eminent contributors from a diverse range of psychological disciplines address central issues in personality assessment. The authors were invited to select a key problem area in the field and to emphasize practical issues in their chapters. The result is a work of outstanding variety and depth of coverage with an immediately useful, hands-on focus.

Topics include ethical considerations in clinical personality assessment, assessment of racial and ethnic minorities, and assessment of the elderly, among many other key topics. A practical, context-based approach is maintained throughout, and a useful Appendix providing an index of psychological assessment procedures concludes the book. It will be considered a definitive text for the field of assessment, appealing to both students and practicing clinical psychologists.
