A complete, thorough, and pragmatic guide to clinical assessment, this
authoritative book meets a key need for both students and practitioners.
T. Mark Harwood, Larry E. Beutler, Gary Groth-Marnat, and their
associates describe how to construct a "moving picture" of each patient
by integrating data from a variety of sources. Included are detailed,
systematic reviews of widely used instruments together with strategies
for selecting the best methods for particular referral questions.
Readers learn to conduct integrated assessments that take the
complexities of the individual personality into account, serve as the
basis for developing an effective treatment plan, and facilitate
meaningful reporting and client feedback.
