Third Edition
Edited By
G. Goldstein, VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System and University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Michel Hersen, Pacific University, Forest Grove, Oregon, U.S.A.
Description
The field of psychological assessment has been undergoing rapid change. The second edition of this Handbook, published in 1990, appeared
at the beginning of a decade marked by extensive advances in assessment in essentially all of its specialized areas. There are many new
tests, new applications of established tests, and new test systems. Major revisions have appeared of established tests, notably the Wechsler
intelligence scales. The time seemed right for a third edition, since even over the relatively brief period of ten years, many tests
described in the second edition have been replaced, and are no longer commonly used. Furthermore, much new research in such areas as
neuropsychology, cognitive science, and psychopathology have made major impacts on how many tests and other assessment procedures are
used and interpreted. This third edition represents an effort to give the reader an overview of the many new developments in assessment,
while still maintaining material on basic psychometric concepts in order for it to continue to serve as a comprehensive handbook for
the student and professional.
Audience
For professional psychologists who do any form of testing or other kinds of evaluation such as interviewing or behavioral assessment.
It would serve as an appropriate textbook for graduate students in professional psychology, including clinical, counselling, industrial,
educational and neuropsychology. It would be of interest to some psychiatrists and educational specialists.
