Handbook of Psychodiagnostic Testing (eBook, PDF)

Analysis of Personality in the Psychological Report

Beschreibung

The Handbook of Psychodiagnostic Testing is an invaluable aid to students and professionals performing psychological assessments. It takes the reader from client referral to finished report, demonstrating how to synthesize details of personality and pathology into a document that is focused, coherent, and clinically meaningful.

Authors Kellerman and Burry offer a systematic framework for choosing the most relevant material from seemingly overwhelming amounts of test data. Separate chapters offer clear rationales for each component of the report and how they relate to one another. Helpful summaries follow each chapter, and tables and charts provide salient facts and findings at a glance.

This new edition covers emerging areas in borderline and narcissistic pathologies, psychological testing of preschool children, and bilingual populations. It also discusses the most current clinical issues and evaluating populations on which standard psychological tests have not been standardized.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the fourth edition: "This discussion of the various elements involved in psychological assessments emphasizes the analysis of personality, especially anxiety. ... Psychology students and professional psychologists are the intended audience. ... This book is helpful for graduate psychology students and young professionals learning how to write good psychological reports, especially the personality section which always is the most difficult to formulate. It is appealing to those who embrace a psychodynamic or psychoanalytic theoretical persuasion." (Gary B. Kaniuk, Doody's Reviews Service, August, 2008)
