Given the vast amount of research related to behavioral assessment,
it is difficult for clinicians to keep abreast of new developments.
In recent years, there have been advances in assessment, case
conceptualization, treatment planning, treatment strategies for
specific disorders, and considerations of new ethical and legal
issues. Keeping track of advances requires monitoring diverse
resources limited to specific disorders, many of which give short
shrift to child assessment, overlooking developmental
considerations. Much of the existing literature is either
theoretical/research in focus or clinical in nature. Nowhere are
the various aspects of child behavioral assessment placed in a
comprehensive research/clinical context, nor is there much
integration as to conceptualization and treatment planning. The
Clinician's Handbook of Child Behavioral Assessment was created to
fill this gap, summarizing critical information for child
behavioral assessment in a single source.
The Clinician's Handbook of Child Behavioral Assessment provides a
single source for understanding new developments in this field,
cutting across strategies, techniques, and disorders. Assessment
strategies are presented in context with the research behind those
strategies, along with discussions of clinical utility, and how
assessment and conceptualization fit in with treatment planning.
The volume is organized in three sections, beginning with general
issues, followed by evaluations of specific disorders and problems,
and closing with special issues. To ensure cross chapter
consistency in the coverage of disorders, these chapters are
formatted to contain an introduction, assessment strategies,
research basis, clinical utility, conceptualization and treatment
planning, a case study, and summary. Special issue coverage
includes child abuse assessment, classroom assessment, behavioral
neuropsychology, academic skills problems, and ethical-legal
issues. Suitable for beginning and established clinicians in
practice, this handbook will provide a ready reference toward
effective child behavioral assessment.
