Essentials of Nonverbal Assessment
Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to confidently
administer, score, and interpret the nonverbal assessment tests.
Essentials of Nonverbal Assessment covers the nine most
widely used nonverbal assessment tests––the Comprehensive
Test of Nonverbal Intelligence (C-TONI); Tests of Nonverbal Intelligence-III
(TONI-III); Universal Nonverbal Intelligence Test (UNIT); Leiter-R;
Beta, Third Edition (Beta-III); Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT);
General Ability Measure for Adults (GAMA); Naglieri Nonverbal
Ability Test, Multilevel Form (NNAT); and Raven’s Progress Matrices.
To use the tests properly, professionals need an authoritative
source of advice and guidance on how to administer, score, and
interpret these tests.
Written by Drs. McCallum and Bracken (creators of the UNIT) and
Dr. Wasserman of the University of Tennessee, Essentials of
Nonverbal 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 Nonverbal Assessment includes vital information
about each of the nonverbal tests, including practical interpretation
scales. The authors provide step-by-step guidance on test administration,
scoring, and interpretation, along with their expert assessment
of the tests’ relative strengths and weaknesses, valuable advice
on their clinical applications, and several illuminating case
reports.
