Psychological Assessment and Report Writing

Second Edition


April 2013 | 256 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
Outlining a step-by-step assessment model, Psychological Assessment and Report Writing, Second Edition covers five key topics central to psychological assessment: understanding the context of a referral; determining what data is needed to answer referral questions; gathering the data; integrating the data; and communicating the findings. Authors Karen Goldfinger and Andrew M. Pomerantz review each facet of psychological assessment and report writing—providing how-to instructions and alerting readers to a myriad of issues they must consider when conducting assessments in clinical, forensic, or educational environments. Filled with varied case examples that promote interest and meet instructional requirements, including one detailed case study that recurs throughout multiple chapters, the book uses sidebars and question and answer sections to encourage readers to consider their own case material and use critical thinking skills as they review each section of the model.

initially I thought it would provide a good resource for students, very disappointed in the lack of resources for students and faculty

Although I liked this book, it ultimately didn't seem appropriate for my psychological assessment class. My class does cover a little bit of assessment report writing, but it organized around a different set of topics (i.e., history and systems in testing, psychometric theory, and practice with current tests). I recommend this book to my students, but I don't require it for my class.

This is a nicely written textbook which provides a comprehensive overview of psychological assessment and report writing.

This is a good manuscript introducing students in psychological assessment. I consider it as valuable to my work as a lecturer and students so far are greatly benefited by it.

It is exactly what I needed for my class
