Reliable This is the first time I had ordered books from Amazon. I did them before, but my boyfriend helped me with it. This time i did all by myself. Its easy...its reliable. I received my book just at the time I wanted. My suggestion to anyone who is in a dilema whether to buy from a book store or at Amazon. Please buy them at Amazon, they are cheaper, they deliver it to you. What more would any student want. Thank you Amazon.
Psychology Book There was a delay in the shipping of the book due to availability. I received notification of the delay by email. The book was in excellent condition when it arrived. Fortunatley, I still received the book in time for my class.
Top of the Line The Handbook of Psychological Assessment is an excellent training tool. Extensive research is provided on the development of each assessment. In addition, the author provides a through discription for administration and interpretations.
Not what I was looking for I am a Ph.D candidate, and I was looking for some help in one my Psychological Assessment classes. I did not find any help in this book. This book is written for the layperson, and may be a source of basic information on current psychological tests. However, for the professional looking for additional information it is disappointing.
the gold standard This text has quickly become the gold standard for both students and practitioners of psychological assessment. It is unique in that it is extremely practical and applicable to day to day practice, yet it is thoroughly grounded in research--which is succinctly cited throughout the text. And, somehow, each volume gets better. This is not a book that will collect dust on a shelf--clinicians will find sage guidance in this text.
