The objective of this book is to teach both the theory and practice of psychological assessment and testing in mental health. To facilitate the latter component, this book provides a generous quantity of modifiable electronic word processing files of all the practice forms, report forms, and test data tables presented throughout Parts I and II. The intended audience includes those who wish to learn and practice psychological assessment and testing in the mental health field, most especially those majoring in psychology at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels of training, along with those who are already fully credentialed. It is also intended for mental health therapists who do not engage in testing themselves, but who desire such knowledge in order to be well informed when referring their clients for assessment and testing services. Specifically, the materials in this book instruct readers how to conduct assessments such that a proper targeted test battery is ordered, how to ask for and obtain insurance preauthorization for the appropriate quantity of testing units (i.e., time), how to schedule appointments, and finally, how to effectively score, report, interpret, integrate, and summarize the test results in addressing the diagnostic questions and issues raised. Useful prior courses include basic statistics and research methods, and perhaps an additional course in psychological measurement. The book begins with an introduction chapter that provides an overview of the organization and structure of the ensuing material. Thereafter, the book is apportioned into two large parts. Part I consists of Chapters 2 through 4, which together cover the psychological assessment and testing process from start to finish, including a visual flowchart outlining five specific steps that constitute the entire sequence, along with practice and report forms needed to move the case along to termination. New to this edition are four initial assessment forms designed for early childhood, middle and late childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, rather than the dichotomous childhood and adulthood forms presented in the first edition. These four initial assessment report forms are reviewed in detail throughout Part I, along with several supplemental report forms that assist in transforming the original into a final psychological assessment report with incorporated test data forms presented throughout Part II.
