Clinical Assessment of Child and Adolescent Intelligence de Randy W. Kamphaus

Clinical Assessment of Child and Adolescent Intelligence

Autor Randy W. Kamphaus
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 aug 2005
This volume – now in its second edition – has been completely updated to provide the most comprehensive and accessible handbook of practices and tools for the clinical assessment of child and adolescent intelligence. Designed specifically as a teaching tool, it provides students with an accessible guide to interpretation and applies the same interpretive systems across many tests. It emphasizes the proper interpretation of intelligence tests within the context of a child’s life circumstances and includes several devices to enhance the logical processes of assessment, beginning with test selection and concluding with the reporting of results.
In addition, Clinical Assessment of Child and Adolescent Intelligence:
- Stresses the importance of the interpretive process over the value of specific tests
- Fosters a deeper understanding of the intelligence construct
- Emphasizes learning by example, using valuable case studies and vignettes designed to provide students with concrete models to emulate
This edition covers all facets of intelligence testing, including detailed explanations of test interpretation, theory, research, and the full-range of testing options for preschoolers through adult clients. New chapters have been introduced on neuropsychological approaches, adolescent and adult intelligence, including coverage of WAIS-III and KAIT, and achievement and intelligence screeners have been added. And although designed primarily as a text for beginning graduate students, the book is also useful as a "refresher" for clinicians who are looking for updated assessment information.

Caracteristici

Specifically designed as a textbook for use in training psychology graduate students in the elementary principles of assessment and diagnostic practice with children and adolescents Applies the same interpretive systems across many tests (as opposed to most assessment textbooks that focus on only one measure) It is meant to be a teaching text, not a resource or reference text—it is designed to provide students with an accessible guide to interpretation This book emphasizes the proper interpretation of intelligence tests in the context of a child’s life circumstances Includes several devices to enhance the logical processes of assessment, beginning with test selection and concluding with the reporting of results Stresses the importance of the interpretive process over the value of specific tests Fosters a deeper understanding of the intelligence construct Emphasizes learning by example—beginning graduate students crave opportunities to see tests administered and to review sample reports; therefore, this test includes numerous cases to provide students with concrete models to emulate Although designed primarily as a text for beginning graduate students, the book is also useful as a "refresher" for clinicians who are looking for update assessment information; it may also serve as a companion text in assessment courses
