<b>Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to confidently administer, score, and interpret behavioral assessment tests</b> <p>Behavioral assessment tests analyze and assess a broad range of behavioral problems found among children and adolescents, including hyperactivity, impulsivity, and ADHD. To use these tests properly, professionals need an authoritative source of advice and guidance on how to administer, score, and interpret them. Cowritten by leading experts in the behavioral assessment field and the creators of the BASC (Behavioral Assessment System for Children), Essentials of Behavioral Assessment is that source.</p> <p>Like all the volumes in the <i>Essentials of Psychological Assessment</i> series, this book is designed to help busy mental health professionals quickly acquire the knowledge and skills they need to make optimal use of major psychological assessment instruments. Each concise chapter features numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that help you gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information covered.</p> <p><i>Essentials of Behavioral Assessment</i> is the first book to provide state-of-the-art interpretive and administrative guidelines to using the BASC, CRS-R (Conners’ Rating Scales-Revised), and CBCL (Achenbach Child Behavior Checklists), the leading and most highly recognized behavioral assessment tests used in the field. The authors also offer expert assessment of the tests’ merits and include classroom observations.</p> <p><b>Other titles in the Essentials of Psychological Assessment series:</b></p> <p>Essentials of WJ IIITM Tests of Achievement Assessment<br /> Essentials of WJ IIITM Cognitive Abilities Assessment<br /> Essentials of WMS®-III Assessment<br /> Essentials of Individual Achievement Assessment<br /> Essentials of Nepsy® Assessment<br /> Essentials of Cross-Battery Assessment<br /> Essentials of Cognitive Assessment with KAIT and Other Kaufman Measures<br /> Essentials of Nonverbal Assessment<br /> Essentials of WISC-III® and WPPSI-R® Assessment</p>
