Synopsis

Psychological testing is widespread today. Test results are only valuable, though, when they contribute meaningful information that helps therapists better meet the treatment needs of their clients. Psychological Testing That Matters describes an approach to inference-making and synthesizing data that creates effective, individualized treatment plans.

The book's treatment-centered approach describes how to reconcile the results of various tests, use test results to assess a patient's psychological capacities, reach a diagnosis, and write an informative test report.
