Description
This book provides a unique cross-cultural perspective of the WISC-III. From construction, translation and adaptation in different cultures,
to analysis of its structure and function as a concept, to its clinical use with different ethnic groups, Culture and Children's
Intelligence provides clinician's the tools they need when using the WISC-III. The focus of this reference work is on children's
intelligence as measured by the WISC-III in different cultures and its use in these cultures (USA, UK, Canada, France, Belgium, Germany,
Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, and Greece). It also discusses the interpretation of the results of the WISC-III in terms of cultural
and ethnic factors.
Audience
School psychologists, clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, special education teachers and evaluators.
