Editorial Reviews

Review
"In sum, this book continues to set the standard in the field and is strongly recommended as a basic reference guide for those clinicians who routinely do psychological testing." (Psychotherapy Review, November 6, 2006)

Review
"In the 5th edition of his very helpful text, Handbook of Psychological Assessment, Groth-Marnat once again assembles information about the history, development, and latest research on the major psychological assessment instruments in current use. He also gives wise and clear advice about the general process of clinical assessment, and about how to integrate information into a useful psychological report. I was particularly fascinated with the sample reports Groth-Marnat assembled from different settings, which give a sense of the breadth of assessment practice today.
This handbook will be extremely useful to students beginning their careers in psychological assessment, and to experienced assessors who want a handy resource when needed."
Dr. Stephen Finn

"This Handbook is absolutely at the top of the “to read” list, or should be, for serious scholars of psychological measurement methods.  Already known for its attention to detail and it’s depth, this edition of the Handbook has been given greater breadth through the addition of several great features:  1) The literature has been critically updated, 2) sections for working with special populations have been added, and 3) its content is tuned to important changes in the field.  In all this, it has retained Groth-Marnat’s great clarity and devotion to being accurate and useful."
Larry E. Beutler, PhD, ABPP; Stanford University School of Medicine --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars We need a 4th edition, February 27, 2000
By Pozzotti (St. Paul, MN USA) - See all my reviews
Groth-Marnat's Handbook of Psychological Assessment has been a great book in all of its editions. The Third Edition, however, is getting a bit old in the tooth: it needs coverage of the CPI-R and the MCMI-III, and probably a chapter on the Five Factor Model (FFM) -- or a version of it -- as well as something on a Five Factor (Costa) or Seven Factor (Cloninger) instrument. When the Fourth Edition comes out, I want it ASAP!

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential reference for clinical psychologists, April 28, 2003
By "mr_arch_stanton" (Santa Fe, New Mexico) - See all my reviews
You might think you can get by without this book during your graduate program, but I wouldn't recommend it. The text is very comprehensive -- pretty much any test you will encounter in your clinical work (with adults) is given treatment here. Excellent and thoughtful guide to interpreting test results (but you will still need to buy Roger Greene's MMPI-2 book and Exner's Rorschach Primers).

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I've seen! (on the subject), January 20, 1999
By A Customer
This is great, everything you need to know about psych tests is right here. A must have if you are interested in the subject. I'm a psychology grad student at UCLA, and I must say this is a great read.
