Psychology - Brescia

In one volume, the leading researchers in intelligence and neuropsychological assessment interpret the range of issues related to intellectual and neuropsychological tests, including test development and psychometrics, clinical applications, ethical and legal concerns, use with diverse populations, computerization, and the latest research. Clinicians and researchers who use these instruments will find this volume invaluable, as it contains the most comprehensive and up-to-date information available on this important aspect of practice.

The fifth edition of this valuable resource contains the latest information on over 2,000 assessment instruments. The update of the 1997 edition reflects test revisions, new tests, and tests that have gone out of print. Tests has three sections--psychology, education, and business. These sections are further divided into 90 sections, enabling users to readily identify tests that meet their assessment needs. This book does not review or evaluate assessments, but does present concise descriptions in a quick-scanning, easy-to-read format. Each entry contains a statement of the instrument's purpose, a description of the instrument, intended populations, scoring procedures, cost, and publisher information. In addition to primary classifications, entries are thoroughly cross-referenced in the index section. The fifth edition of Tests has five indexes, making this reference user-friendly. Besides the Test Titles and Authors indexes, you also get indexes of Publishers, Tests Not in the Fifth Edition, and Publishers Not in the Fifth Edition. A listing of publisher's web site addresses is also included.
