Rezensionen

'Once again, Coaley provides an accessible and indispensable guide to psychological assessments for students and staff. Coaley s applied expertise in psychological assessment means that the student not only benefits from a thorough explanation of the theoretical underpinnings of psychological assessments, but also have the benefit of practical explanations of the theory. Through this text, students will gain an understanding not only of how to do psychological assessment, but also critical issues such as fairness and ethical testing of tests, reliability and validity and also how vital testing can be in applied settings.'
