Customer Reviews

Excellent all the way around

Very satisfied with delivery and the product. Highly recommend for all psychology graduate students that would be doing assessments or have assessment classes. Wish I had this a few classes ago.

Excellent book on psych. testing

As a therapist who supervises social workers at a center for emotionally disturbed children, I have to read and understand psychological tests. This book is lucid, well-written, covers a lot of ground regarding most of the tests. It has been a great help.

An excellent clinician's handbook on psychological testing

This is book is great because it provides really clear information on all of the best psych tests, including the WAIS-III and WMS-III. I also like that it includes test results for children and older adults, not just adults. It's short and sweet, and small enough to take with me when I see patients.
