The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children: Fourth Edition
(WISC-IV) is one of the most often used measures to assess
intelligence and cognitive functions in children, ages 6-16 years.
The second edition of the "WISC-IV Clinical Assessment and
Intervention" will include new information obtained from the
clinical use of the WISC-IV in practice. Information on the basic
use of the assessment tool is condensed from three chapters into
one, with four new chapters discussing how to use and interpret
WISC-IV with additional clinical populations. These new populations
include pervasive Developmental Disorders including autism, Social
and emotional disorders, psychiatric disorders, and medical
disorders that may affect intelligence. An additional new chapter
discusses intervention planning across patient populations. Each of
the chapters (revised original chapters and new chapters) will
additionally include case studies including diagnosis and
intervention.
Overall, the material in the book is 65% changed, new, and updated.
These changes make the second edition better able to meet a
clinician's needs in using and interpreting this test.
New to the Second Edition:
* Inclusion of case studies illustrating the clinical applications
of the WISC-IV in assessment and program planning
* Intervention recommendations following from assessment to
diagnosis
* Introductory chapter illustrating the relationships between the
WISC-IV index scores and intervention planning
* New chapters on Learning Disabilities, emotionally disturbed
children, systematic illness, and Autism Spectrum Disorders
* Specialized chapters on neuropsychological applications,
executive functioning, and cultural issues
* Additional information to aid test interpretation including
extended norms for gifted children and the Cognitive Proficiency
Index
* All chapters revised to reflect data obtained from the test in
clinical use
