Assessment in Applied Sport Psychology is a comprehensive resource
that offers both students and professionals the opportunity to hone
their skills to help their clients, starting with the initial
consultation and lasting through a long-term relationship. In this
text, Jim Taylor and a team of sport psychology experts help
practitioners gain a deep understanding of assessment in order to
build trusting relationships and effective intervention plans that
address the needs and goals of their clients. Part I of Assessment
in Applied Sport Psychology covers topics such as the importance of
assessment, the appropriateness of qualitative and quantitative
assessment, ethical issues that can arise from assessment, and the
impact of diversity in the use of assessment. Part II introduces
readers to six ways that consultants can assess athletes: mental
health screening, personality tests, sport-specific objective
measures, interviewing, observation, and applied psychophysiology.
Chapters in this section explain the strengths and weaknesses of
each approach-for example, when traditional pencil-and-paper and
observation approaches may be more appropriate than
interviewing-and offer consultants a more complete toolbox of
assessments to use when working with athletes. Part III addresses
special issues, such as career transition, talent identification,
and sport injury and rehabilitation. One chapter is devoted to the
hot-button issue of sport-related concussions. Tables at the end of
most chapters in parts II and III contain invaluable information
about each of the assessment tools described, including its
purpose, publication details, and how to obtain it. Chapters also
contain sidebars that provide sample scenarios, recommended
approaches, and exercises to use with clients. Assessment in
Applied Sport Psychology works toward two main goals. The first is
to help consultants gain a complete understanding of their clients
through the use of a broad range of assessment tools. The second is
to show consultants how to ethically and effectively use
assessments to develop a comprehensive understanding of their
clients, thus enabling them to assist their clients in achieving
their competitive and personal goals.
