Testing and Assesments for Masters Level Counselors
~ Written on Oct 15, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

The text seems well written and it did help me to understand an area in which I had little exposure prior to reading this text. The only drawback is that it is lacking at least one chapter on marriage and family assessments....I would hope that this might be added to any future editions!

Psychological Testings at its best
~ Written on May 28, 2009. out of users found this review helpful.

This is the best book for psychological testings. This book is great for undergrad/grad work, but also an excellent reference book to have on hand!

Psychological Testing simplified.
~ Written on May 14, 2007. 7 out of 7 users found this review helpful.

Psychological Testing:History, Principles and Applications (5th Edition) has provided the graduate student with a simplified version of psychological testing. This text can be used with any reader that goes through the rigors of learning the rudiments of psychological testing. What is most valuable in this text is the categories of tests and their explanations with case exhibits. The summaries assist with memory and easy recall of facts while the key terms and concepts after each chapter provide the student with easy recall and a simple glossary.
