Title: Psychological assessment in clinical practice
Description: "This book provides students and practitioners with the tools and information necessary to perform psychological assessment in the typical clinical setting. Designed specifically for individuals in private practice, this essential text translates complex assessments intended for use in a large hospital setting into practical procedures that can be easily implemented in a private practice environment." "This practitioner oriented resource examines the pragmatic issues involved in carrying out viable assessment from intake through treatment, considering all of the relevant ethical issues, and presenting evaluations of both adults and children for disorders most commonly encountered in private practice. Organized by diagnosis for ease of reference, each treatment chapter includes a description of the disorder, analysis of the range of assessments available, practicalities of carrying out psychological assessment within the context of individual practice, and case illustrations." "This text answers the need for pragmatic and efficient assessment strategies, and serves the vital function of relating techniques taught in graduate school to the realities of private practice. Appropriate for students and practitioners alike, Psychological Assessment in Clinical Practice teaches readers how to perform assessments on patients in the absence of the instruments and assistants that many standard procedures assume."--BOOK JACKET.
