Psychological Testing and Assessment: An Introduction to Tests and
Measurements, 10th edition, is a measurement textbook that provides
a sound grounding in psychometrics using a logical organization and
pedagogical aids. The book is scholarly and authoritative while
having a "hands-on" feel due to the authors' experience
administering, scoring, and interpreting tests in various contexts.
The content brings a human face to testing and assessments while
balancing breadth and depth of coverage.
The risk of cancer increases with age, and the number of older
adults seeking treatment is increasing dramatically in line with
the aging population. The care of older patients differs from that
of younger adults because of differences in the biology of the
tumor, age-related differences in host physiology, comorbidity
burden and psychosocial issues, which might im pact the efficacy
and side effects of cancer therapy. Practical Geriatric Oncology is
a comprehensive, evidence-based text that synthesizes the growing
literature in this field and provides practical guidelines to the
care of older adults with cancer. Coverage includes patient
assessment, management of solid tumors and hematologic
malignancies, the impact of age on the pharmacology of cancer
therapy, surgical oncology and radiation oncology in the older
adult, symptom management, and supportive care. In addition to
serving as core reading for oncologists and hematologists, the book
will also be a useful work for other healthcare professionals who
provide oncology care, including surgeons, radiation oncologists,
palliative care doctors, primary care providers, geriatricians, and
nurses.
