Essentials of WISC-III and WPPSI-R Assessment
Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to confidently
administer, score, and interpret the WISC-III and WPPSI-R.
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition (WISC-III),
for ages 6-16 years, and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale
of Intelligence-Revised (WPPSI-R), for ages 3-7 years, are widely
used and globally well-known child intelligence tests. In order
to use them properly, professionals need an authoritative source
of advice and guidance on how to administer, score, and interpret
these tests. Coauthored by Alan S. Kaufman, who worked closely
with David Wechsler on the WISC-R, Essentials of WISC-III and
WPPSI-R Assessment is that source.
Like all the volumes in the Essentials
of Psychological Assessment series, this book is designed
to help busy mental health practitioners quickly acquire the knowledge
and skills they need to make optimal use of a major psychological
assessment instrument. 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.
The initial chapters of Essentials of WISC-III and WPPSI-R
Assessment provide step-by-step guidance on test administration,
scoring, and interpretation. In the chapters following, the authors
provide their expert assessment of the tests' relative strengths
and weaknesses, valuable advice on their clinical applications,
and several illuminating case reports.
