Essentials of WAIS -III Assessment
Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to confidently
administer, score, and interpret the WAIS-III.
The latest version of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale,
WAIS-III, which includes several significant modifications and
structural changes, three new subsets, and a variety of optional
procedures, is a more sophisticated and complex instrument than
its predecessors. Professionals who wish to use it properly need
an authoritative source of advice and guidance on how to properly
administer, score, and interpret the updated test. Coauthored
by Alan S. Kaufman, who worked closely with David Wechsler on
the WISC-R, Essentials of WAIS-III Assessment is that source.
Like all the volumes in the new 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 to gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information
covered.
The initial chapters of Essentials of WAIS-III Assessment
provide step-by-step guidance on test administration, scoring,
and interpretation. In the chapters following, the authors provide
their expert assessment of the test's relative strengths and weaknesses,
valuable advice on its clinical applications, exciting new research
data on aging and IQ, and several illuminating case reports.
