Recenzii

I took a look over this prospectus and was very impressed. Although I am not that familiar with the PAI, I know it gets a good bit of usage and it is covered in many assessment classes in training programs. Just to check it out, I did a literature search on the number of citations that popped up for the PAI and as of today; there were 294 articles. It will never replace the MMPI, but that is pretty good for an instrument that was just developed and made available in the early 1990s. The number of citations increases over time as well, with 2007 being a banner year with 41 articles. Based upon my observations and these data, its use is clearly increasing as time goes on. That is good news from a marketing standpoint.
In contrast to the MMPI, there are only a few books on the PAI, and as mentioned in the prospectus, they are written by Morey. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but an edited book of this nature would complement these other texts well and lend additional credence to the utility of the PAI.
The editors have all published empirical articles on the PAI, although the two senior editors' publications were mostly in 2007. Regardless, they are well qualified for the task at hand and have assembled a credible group of chapter authors. Most of the chapter authors have also published empirical work on the PAI, although some are 'rising' scientists who have yet to publish in this area. The combination of seasoned and more junior authors presents a nice blend of authors to give credibility to the overall work while providing an avenue for more junior scientists to expand on their new programs of research.
The editors have also done a commendable job of coming up with a standard chapter structure. This will assist with the overall readability of the book. By adhering to this structure, content will be consistent across chapters and will presumably flow well.
The book will complement an already solid group of offerings that LEA has already developed in Psychological Assessment.
All in all, I would encourage Taylor and Francis to move forward on this proposed project. I think it will be a nice contribution to the literature and likely purchased by a growing body of users of the PAI.

This one is a winner. The three editors are top guys in personality assessment and will provide strong quality control. They selected strong, nationally known, authors for their chapters. They have many chapters about the PAI that are not found anywhere else. I would buy the book for the forensic chapters alone.
- F. Barton Evans, Ph.D.

"The development of the PAI has proven to be one of the most important advances in clinical assessment of the last 20 years, and this book represents the most complete reference to date on its clinical uses. It is an essential guide for anyone interested in learning more about the PAI or how to use it with clients." - Robert E. McGrath, PhD, Professor of Psychology, School of Psychology, Fairleigh Dickinson University; former Associate Editor, Journal of Personality Assessment
"The PAI currently sets the standard for self-report assessment of personality and psychopathology, this volume further extends this work in applied clinical settings. I believe this book will be incredibly informative for all therapists as the authors provide a broad range of chapters with vital information on specific populations and settings in a practical, clinically relevant manner." - Mark J. Hilsenroth, Professor of Psychology, Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies, Adelphi University
"This landmark volume represents a remarkable collaboration between leading PAI scholars and experts in specific domains of application. It melds a comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of empirical research with insights derived from years of rich clinical experience. The authors should be congratulated for this unique contribution to the field of clinical assessment." - Leslie C. Morey, PhD, Professor and Head, Department of Psychology, Texas A&M University; author, Personality Assessment Inventory
"This clinically rich book outlines the foundations of the PAI and illustrates how it can be used to address a range of clinical, forensic, and research questions. By skillfully balancing empirical findings with clinical acumen, the authors convincingly demonstrate the value of the PAI to psychologists engaged in contemporary psychological assessment. Experienced clinicians, researchers, and graduate students will find much value in this book." - Ronald J. Ganellen, Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, Illinois, USA
