must come back to this

Had to read most of this for grad school. Hefty, thorough book, covering many common assessment tools. It's definitely The Handbook. A must if you're doing assessments ongoing. Also I'd suggest balancing out one's viewpoint by reading something like McWilliam's Psychoanalytic Case Formulation.

Not exactly a page-turner, but a very well-written and thorough text on the major psychological assessment instruments.

Prepuno podataka koji se mogu koristiti u praksi, pogotovo za planiranje tretmana. Također, sadrži jako dobro poglavlje za korisnike MMPI-a!

Definitely more of a reference book. Pretty thorough, but there were some sections where a little more/different detail would have been helpful.

Excellent summaries and detailed breakdown of how to use and interpret most tests administered today. Will be pulled off my shelf many times in the future.
