Summary: Assessment In-Depth
Comment: This comprehensive set of books is essential for the practicing psychologist as well as the clinical researcher. As a recent graduate and practicing psychologist, I refer to these books more than to the DSM! The volume on behavioral assessment was the most helpful, comprehensive, informative and best written of the set. Both theoretical as well as practical issues are dealt with in the majority of chapters. Overall it is a must read for all in the field. I highly recommend the behavioral assessment volume in this series.

Summary: Good overall, but won't help with interpretation
Comment: This is a good overall look at the psychometric properties of many of the leading assessment instruments. It does not, however, help much with regard to interpretation, so if you are going to need help interpreting tests, you will need to get the test manuals or interpretative guides. Also, having the leading proponents of the specific instruments present material for their tests leads to a biased description of the psychometrics. In the end, the clinician or researcher will still have to be able to look at the psychometric information and decide for themselves if a particular instrument is worth using.
