This volume – now in its second edition – has been completely
updated to provide the most comprehensive and accessible handbook of
practices and tools for the clinical assessment of child and
adolescent intelligence. Designed specifically as a teaching tool, it
provides students with an accessible guide to interpretation and
applies the same interpretive systems across many tests. It emphasizes
the proper interpretation of intelligence tests within the context of
a child’s life circumstances and includes several devices to enhance
the logical processes of assessment, beginning with test selection and
concluding with the reporting of results. In addition, Clinical
Assessment of Child and Adolescent Intelligence: - Stresses the
importance of the interpretive process over the value of specific
tests. - Fosters a deeper understanding of the intelligence
construct. - Emphasizes learning by example, using valuable case
studies and vignettes designed to provide students with concrete
models to emulate. This edition covers all facets of intelligence
testing, including detailed explanations of test interpretation,
theory, research, and the full-range of testing options for
preschoolers through adult clients. New chapters have been introduced
on neuropsychological approaches, adolescent and adult intelligence,
including coverage of WAIS-III and KAIT, and achievement and
intelligence screeners have been added. And although designed
primarily as a text for beginning graduate students, the book is also
useful as a "refresher" for clinicians who are looking for updated
assessment information.
