This review is from: Children's Psychological Testing : A Guide for Nonpsychologists, Third Edition (Paperback)

An absolutely brilliant book! This book demystified the process of psychological testing. The author uses up to date references to explain how the various domains of psychological testing can be used in an integrated way to assist treatment. Wodrich has written a book which serves as a desk reference for many assessment instruments as well as a text for students of psychology and counselling. I strongly recomend this text.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Children's Psychological Testing : A Guide for Nonpsychologists, Third Edition (Paperback)

This is a great resource for non-psychologists if you want to have a better understanding of what a psycho-educational assessment entails. A great resource for parents, teachers and school psychology students. The literature is comprehensible and with the non-psychologist as a reader in mind. Definitely a plus!
