Test-based psychological assessment has been significantly affected
by the health care revolution in the United States during the past
two decades. Despite new limitations on psychological services
across the board and psychological testing in particular, it
continues to offer a rapid and efficient method of identifying
problems, planning and monitoring a course of treatment, and
assessing the outcomes of interventions. This thoroughly revised
and greatly expanded third edition of a classic reference, now
three volumes, constitutes an invaluable resource for practitioners
who in a managed care era need to focus their testing not on the
general goals of personality assessment, symptom identification,
and diagnosis so often presented to them as students and trainees,
but on specific questions: What course of treatment should this
person receive? How is it going? Was it effective? New chapters
describe new tests and models and new concerns such as ethical
aspects of outcomes assessment. Volume I reviews general issues and
recommendations concerning the use of psychological testing for
screening for psychological disturbances, planning and monitoring
appropriate interventions, and the assessing outcomes, and offers
specific guidelines for selecting instruments. It also considers
more specific issues such as the analysis of group and individual
patient data, the selection and implementation of outcomes
instrumentation, and the ethics of gathering and using outcomes
data. Volume II discusses psychological measures developed for use
with younger children and adolescents that can be used for the
purposes outlined in Volume I; Volume III, those developed for use
with adults. Drawing on the knowledge and experience of a diverse
group of leading experts--test developers, researchers, clinicians
and others, the third edition of The Use of Psychological Testing
for Treatment Planning and Outcomes Assessment provides vital
assistance to all clinicians, and to their trainees and graduate
students.

The second edition Handbook of Psychological Assessment in Primary
Care Settings offers an overview of the application of
psychological screening and assessment instruments in primary care
settings. This indispensable reference addresses current
psychological assessment needs and practices in primary care
settings to inform psychologists, behavioral health clinicians, and
primary care providers the clinical benefits that can result from
utilizing psychological assessment and other behavioral health care
services in primary care settings.
Written by a recognized expert in assessment employed by a large
managed behavioral healthcare organization (MBHO), this book seeks
to provide psychologists who rely on testing as an integral part of
their practice, a guide on how to survive and thrive in the era of
managed behavioral healthcare. It also offers ideas on how to
capitalize on the opportunities that managed care presents to
psychologists. The goal is to demonstrate that despite the
tightening of the reins on authorizations for reimbursable testing,
psychological testing can continue to play an important role in
psychological practice and behavioral healthcare service delivery.
The book presents ideas for: *increasing the likelihood of getting
tests authorized by MBHOs; *using inexpensive/public domain
assessment instruments; *ethically using psychological testing in
MBHO settings; *capitalizing on the movement to integrate primary
care and behavioral healthcare through the use of psychological
testing; and *designing and implementing outcomes assessment
systems within MBHO settings. Intended for practicing psychologists
and other behavioral health practitioners employed by MBHOs in
direct service delivery, care management or supervisory positions,
as well as for graduate clinical or counseling psychology students
who will most likely work in MBHO settings.
