Handbook of Psychodiagnostic Testing: Analysis of Personality in the Psychological Report - Softcover

From the reviews of the fourth edition:

"This discussion of the various elements involved in psychological assessments emphasizes the analysis of personality, especially anxiety. ... Psychology students and professional psychologists are the intended audience. ... This book is helpful for graduate psychology students and young professionals learning how to write good psychological reports, especially the personality section which always is the most difficult to formulate. It is appealing to those who embrace a psychodynamic or psychoanalytic theoretical persuasion." (Gary B. Kaniuk, Doody’s Reviews Service, August, 2008)

The Handbook of Psychodiagnostic Testing is an invaluable aid to students and professionals performing psychological assessments. It takes the reader from client referral to finished report, demonstrating how to synthesize details of personality and pathology into a document that is focused, coherent, and clinically meaningful.

This new edition covers emerging areas in borderline and narcissistic pathologies, psychological testing of preschool children, and bilingual populations. It also discusses the most current clinical issues and evaluating populations on which standard psychological tests have not been standardized.
