Essentials of Behavioral Assessment
Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to confidently
administer, score, and interpret behavioral assessment tests.
Behavioral assessment tests analyze and assess a broad
range of behavioral problems found among children and adolescents,
including hyperactivity, impulsivity, and ADHD. To use these tests
properly, professionals need an authoritative source of advice
and guidance on how to administer, score, and interpret them.
Cowritten by leading experts in the behavioral assessment field
and the creators of the BASC (Behavioral Assessment System for
Children), Essentials of Behavioral Assessment is that
source.
Like all the volumes in the
Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, this book is
designed to help busy mental health professionals quickly acquire
the knowledge and skills they need to make optimal use of major
psychological assessment instruments. Each concise chapter features
numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points,
and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions
that help you gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information
covered.
Essentials of Behavioral Assessment is the first book
to provide state-of-the-art interpretive and administrative guidelines
to using the BASC, CRS-R (Conners' Rating Scales-Revised), and
CBCL (Achenbach Child Behavior Checklists), the leading and most
highly recognized behavioral assessment tests used in the field.
The authors also offer expert assessment of the tests' merits
and include classroom observations.
