Handbook of Psychological Assessment

I thought this would be a comprehensive book walking through the steps of assessments and diagnostic decisions. Instead, it was primarily focused on specific tests and their applications.

This book has been a lifesaver for me in my psychology masters program. I used it to help write reports for the MMPI-2, PAI, and MCMI tests I administered. The MMPI and PAI sections were fantastic. After I bought this book, I found out I could get it for free online, but I am so happy I actually bought it since I can see myself using it in the years to come. Be warned, it is LARGE and heavy but makes a great addition to a bookshelf ;)

I also own the 5th Ed., and can say that this is a must-have for its inclusion of the MMPI-2-RF, PAI, MCMI-IV, and NEO. Very useful, and for some reason it made me feel better that it is quite a bit thicker than the 5th Ed. I guess it's the fact that I'm a few months out of grad school and already buying the new editions of previously required texts. Being current was nice while it lasted...

Detailed, deep coverage of the subject of psychological testing. A classic.

I’ve used this book every day while in psychological assessments class. It’s interesting and keeps you into it the whole time you read

Thought this book had all the types of tests that are discussed. Mainly for a professional. Hard to understand.

Just a heads up for those renting this as an etextbook for Kindle App. THERE ARE NO PAGE NUMBERS!!! It goes by percentage of book read so if your professor is good about assigning chapters to read you'll be fine. However, if your professor is like mine and assigns certain page numbers to read......Well, good luck to you!!!

I really like this book ! It has helped me a lot this semester! I want to purchase it instead of renting to make it part of my career bookshelf.

they're making me write words here

Poor quality version of book, printing on some pages is blurred and pages are falling out, very low quality binding. Purchase from another seller

An essential book for any psychologist conducting assessment or writing reports.

I received the book with all the pages completely detached from the cover. There was no mention of that in the description of the product. Was said to be in good condition. That's not what I call "good condition".

I used this to lend greater insight to my current CBT studies. Although far more advanced from where I do find myself the content helps to broaden the students outlook into the clinical world.
