Customer Reviews

Excellent Resource For Professionals

I found that this text was a great resource to add to my professional library. As a previous student of Dr. Kaufman, I have found that the "Essentials" series has helped me stay current with recent changes in test development and assessment. I really enjoy the way that the texts are structured and easy to use in a private practice setting. My special thanks go to Alan Kaufman and to all of the authors who have contributed to this wonderful series. Sincerely, Norman D. Severe, Psy.D.

Good Reference and Resource

The Essentials of WISC-IV Assessment book is an excellent resource for school psychologists and students. It is a must-have for your library. I recommend this book to everyone!

Straightforward and easy to use, but lacked on the interpretation details

I'm a fan of these sorts of texts having found the Essentials of the WAIS-III a great resource I keep returning too. I imagine it will be the same with this text as I found it really easy to use and easy to read. Perhaps my only complaint is that there is little discussion about interpretation. Otherwise a great resource in scoring up your WISC-IV.

Review

This is a very handy book to understand, interpret, and write Reports. It is written in an easy to understand language.

Outstanding contribution; must for Wechsler users

This is a terrific book -- it provides a lot of information on how to administer and score the WISC-IV. It has the same innovative approaches Kaufman has used in previous books on earlier Wechsler tests -- new ideas on interpretation and scoring that make sense. With the added viewpoint provided by Flanagan, a specialist in the cross-battery assessment, this book is a merging of two interesting approaches; unique project by two top psychologists in their prime.
