This is a terrific book -- it provides a lot of information on how to administer and score the WISC-IV. It has the same innovative approaches Kaufman has used in previous books on earlier Wechsler tests -- new ideas on interpretation and scoring that make sense. With the added viewpoint provided by Flanagan, a specialist in the cross-battery assessment, this book is a merging of two interesting approaches; unique project by two top psychologists in their prime.

I'm a fan of these sorts of texts having found the Essentials of the WAIS-III a great resource I keep returning too. I imagine it will be the same with this text as I found it really easy to use and easy to read. Perhaps my only complaint is that there is little discussion about interpretation. Otherwise a great resource in scoring up your WISC-IV.

This is a very handy book to understand, interpret, and write Reports. It is written in an easy to understand language.

This book is very useful for school psychologist students/interns or anyone starting to use the WISC-IV. It's clear & easy to understand. Have referred back to it many times. Definitely staying in my library.

Please check carefully which edition you want -- it appears Amazon has erroneously listed both this and the previous editon as the 2nd. And if you look, you'll see that all the reveiws for this 2009 publication PRE-date that (2005, 2007...). The 2009 edition is more expensive, but apparently has 200 extra pgs and a scoring CD. Pls make this clear and straighten out the edition info, Amazon! Thanks.

I found that this text was a great resource to add to my professional library. As a previous student of Dr. Kaufman, I have found that the "Essentials" series has helped me stay current with recent changes in test development and assessment. I really enjoy the way that the texts are structured and easy to use in a private practice setting. My special thanks go to Alan Kaufman and to all of the authors who have contributed to this wonderful series. Sincerely, Norman D. Severe, Psy.D.

The purchase has been very useful and it arrived in perfect condition and in a very prompt manner. This was a perfect transaction!

You have to be practicing the assessment at same time as reading this to make it effective. The quizzes at the en of the chapters helped me to self check and the format was great for visual leathers.

The book came really fast and that was great because I needed it before I moved to a different state for school!

The Essentials of WISC-IV Assessment book is an excellent resource for school psychologists and students. It is a must-have for your library. I recommend this book to everyone!
