Psychological assessment has always paralleled the growth of
psychology and its specialties, and it is not an overstatement to
say that measurement and assessment are the cornerstones of
psychology, providing the tools and techniques for gathering
information to inform our understanding of human behavior. However,
the continued growth and new developments in the assessment
literature requires an ongoing examination of the principles and
practices of central importance to psychological assessment.
The Oxford Handbook of Child Psychological Assessment covers all
areas of child and adolescent assessment. Leaders in the field
summarize and synthesize state-of-the-science assessment theories,
techniques, and applications. Placing an emphasis on clinical and
psychoeducational assessment issues, chapters explore issues
related to the foundations, models, special topics, and practice of
psychological assessment. Appropriate as a desk reference or a
cover-to-cover read, this comprehensive volume surveys fundamental
principles of child assessment, including ability, achievement,
behavior, and personality; covers the role of theory and
measurement in psychological assessment; and presents new methods
and data.
