The scarcity of statistical data for earlier historical periods and the relative inaccessibility of widely scattered source materials have created difficulties for scholars attempting to focus on the patterns of American crime. This new bibliography will make their task easier. The first work of its kind to deal with crime in the deep South, it lists and describes published and unpublished materials on eight southern states from 1700 to 1930, the year the U.S. government began to collect and compile crime statistics. Within each geographical section, resources are organized according to type. Monographs, journal articles, dissertations, theses and manuscript collections are included. Listings are given for newspaper articles covering specific crimes, criminals, and types of criminal activity not treated in the monographic and journal literature. Entries for crime-related fiction, film, and drama are presented in separate sections. Complete author, name, and subject indexes are supplied. Systematically consolidating and organizing the available information on southern crime, this bibliography will provide valuable assistance to scholars in the field and help to identify promising avenues for future research.

Vor etwa 10 Jahren erschien die Originalausgabe von Conducting Psychological Assessment. Seitdem wird dieses Referenzwerk, insbesondere in der Lehre, eingesetzt, um Psychologen in der Erstellung psychologischer Gutachten zu schulen, vor allem im Hinblick auf die Integration von Daten und das Abfassen von Berichten. Das in der Originalausgabe vorgestellte Hypothesentestmodell ist heute das Standardmodell fur eine ethische und in jeder Hinsicht umfassende Begutachtung. Die 2. Auflage greift auf grundlegende Modelle der ersten Auflage zuruck, erganzt um Nuancen und Details, die in Workshops uber die letzten zehn Jahre erarbeitet wurden. Der Autor hat anerkannte Modelle zum Abgleich widerspruchlicher Daten aus unterschiedlichen Quellen entwickelt, die in das Kapitel zur Datenintegration einfliessen koennen. Auch nutzt der Autor verschiedene andere Modelle zur Persoenlichkeitsfunktion als Vorlage fur die Erarbeitung von Daten, darunter das interpersonelle Circumplex-Modell. Diese Ansatze kommen in diesem Buch durchgangig zur Anwendung.

The only pocket-size reference on supervising psychological testing and assessment In 2014, the American Psychological Association (APA) adopted a set of guidelines for clinical supervision for health service psychology. While technically covered by these guidelines, supervising clinical psychological assessment includes additional tasks (such as ensuring accurate administration, scoring, and interpretation of tests) and tensions. Supervisors must often instruct supervisees on the data-integration process--which can involve more direct teaching than standard clinical supervision--while encompassing the same interpersonal, therapeutic, and less structured guiding aspects as psychotherapy supervision. It is increasingly common to view clinical supervision in the assessment process and supervision of psychotherapy as two significantly different tasks. Surprisingly, there is very little training and guidance available on appropriate, effective, and beneficial methods of psychological assessment supervision. Essentials of Psychological Assessment Supervision seeks to remedy the lack of literature in this area, offering guidance on supervising psychological testing and assessment. This much-needed guide provides supervisors with authoritative, up-to-date information on guidelines relevant to assessment supervision. Additionally, detailed coverage of supervision of cognitive, personality/emotional, psychoeducational, neuropsychological, forensic, and therapeutic assessments, among others, provide supervisors with guidance and structure in the supervision process. Focusing on practical application, this book offers guidance on topics such as assessment models appropriate in different areas of assessment; diversity issues; evaluation and feedback of supervisee performance; and ethical, legal, and regulatory considerations relevant in each assessment context. An invaluable resource for practitioners, this book: Offers practical advice on supervising a wide range of clinical psychological assessments Includes contributions from experts in their respective subfields Provides guidance on incorporating new American Psychological Association (APA) and Society for Personality Assessment (SPA) guidelines into the supervision process Fills an urgent need for an up-to-date reference on assessment supervision Essentials of Psychological Assessment Supervision is a must-have reference for both psychology practitioners who supervise the assessment process and instructors of psychological testing and assessment.
