Customer Reviews

Top of the Line

The Handbook of Psychological Assessment is an excellent training tool. Extensive research is provided on the development of each assessment. In addition, the author provides a through discription for administration and interpretations.

Excellent resource for practicing clinincians and students

Having read/reviewed numerous 'handbooks,' this is probably the best of the breed. Groth-Marnat has done an excellent job of covering the main assessment techniques used by clinicians to psychologically evaluate patients. Clinicians will find this handbook indispensable, and, in fact, (I predict) will keep it parked on their desk for ready access. Students will find the book thorough, informative and practical. If you are serious about psychological assessment, this one is a 'must-have.' You won't be disappointed.

An essential reference for clinical psychologists

You might think you can get by without this book during your graduate program, but I wouldn't recommend it. The text is very comprehensive -- pretty much any test you will encounter in your clinical work (with adults) is given treatment here. Excellent and thoughtful guide to interpreting test results (but you will still need to buy Roger Greene's MMPI-2 book and Exner's Rorschach Primers).

The best book I've seen! (on the subject)

This is great, everything you need to know about psych tests is right here. A must have if you are interested in the subject. I'm a psychology grad student at UCLA, and I must say this is a great read.

For students of psych testing, this is a must have.

Students, academicians, and practitioners, this is a must for your reference shelf. It is awesome.
