Part of the required reading in one of my graduate programs on therapy. The 8th edition is a great overview of assessment in various parts of the counseling profession. The information is detailed enough to be accurate, but brief enough not to drag the reader down with minutiae and redundancies. Even the sections including details on the mathematics necessary for assessment are not too “mathy”. Enough information on the statistical steps necessary for various procedures is present to be a refresher for those who’ve had a more involved stat course, and enough for a lay understanding of the process involved for those who don’t need to carry out the procedures themselves but do need some knowledge of what they mean.

Not sure all of the math was correct. Probably could have used some better editing. I also don't think it's helpful to just list a bunch of assessments, but I guess they want you to use it as a reference later? I'll probably google it! Okay over all

Very educational. Only read Chapters 1-5 and 13-the end but the middle was probably good too.

Good text for grad school... real snoozer though

This textbook was comprehensive, covering several relevant aspects of testing including psychometric properties of several different types of tests, ethics, multicultural considerations, and best practices for counselors administering and interpreting assessments. The content of this textbook complemented the curriculum for my graduate-level psychometrics course and I can see how this may be a useful reference for future courses and clinical work.
