This book contains three sections. Part I includes an introductory
chapter and an applied chapter on conducting a risk assessment.
Part II provides a description of how the measures were organized
and quick-view tables that provide easy access to measures with
enough information to allow for an estimate of the likelihood that
reading additional information about a particular measure would
prove fruitful. Measures are organized alphabetically into tables
for measures of anger, aggression, or violence. Each of the tables
provides the name of the measure, the purpose for which the measure
was developed, and the targeted population. The tables also provide
information on the method of assessment, the amount of time
required to use the measure, and the page number where additional
information is available. Part II also contains the review of each
measure. Part III provides examples of measures that can be copied
for research or clinical purposes. "
Practitioner's Guide to Empirically-Based Measures to Depression,
the first volume in a series of clinical assessment handbooks, is
intended to guide clinicians and researchers in choosing practical
tools relevant for clinical assessment, intervention, and/or
research in this area. This volume provides critical overviews of
key assessment issues and available assessment tools in depression.
It provides summary tables comparing and contrasting different
instruments in terms of their time requirements, suitability,
costs, administration, reliability, and validity. These quick view
grids' provide a rapid method of identifying and comparing
potentially useful measures. Sample copies of 25 instruments in the
public domain are included; for instruments commercially available,
samples of instrument content and information about how to purchase
them are provided. This remarkable compendium of information should
serve as a valuable resource to practicing clinicians and to
researchers who wish to develop state-of-the-science assessment
strategies for clinical problems and to make informed choices about
which devices best suit their purposes.
