The practice of primary health care has expanded beyond the
"traditional" medical model. Primary-care physicians and allied
professionals are called upon more frequently to address parental
concerns about develop mental delays, poor school performance, or
behavioral problems. As a result, pediatricians, family
practitioners, pediatric nurses, social workers, and speecManguage
specialists are faced with the issue of developmental and
psychological testing. The degree of the clinician's involvement in
testing varies from interpretation of reports to performing
screening or assessments. In many cases, the primary health care
professional assumes the role of case manager. Unfortunately,
cooperation between disciplines often has been lim ited because of
poor communication, particularly in regard to develop mental and
psychological testing, where acronyms, statistics, and jargon
abound. Even professionals from mental health disciplines such as
child psychiatrists or psychiatric social workers sometimes are
overwhelmed. The purpose of this book, therefore, is to provide the
clinician with practical information regarding developmental and
psychological testing, thereby making the health care professional
an "educated consumer. " This text does not simply describe how
psychologists perform testing; rather, it provides information to
help clinicians understand what the tests con tain, what their
strengths and limitations are, and how they can be incorporated
into practice."
