Description:
This comprehensive volume shows how to use both diagnostic and behavioral assessment knowledgeably and effectively throughout the process of treatment. The two traditions have developed along separate paths-each with its own conceptual underpinnings and psychometric strengths. Used together, they can produce a complete picture of a 3- to 18-year-old's needs and strengths. The expert editors and contributors describe the full range of evidence-based assessment tools and illustrate their application with two intake- to-termination case examples. Reproducible tools include a behavioral recording form and a multipage case conceptualization worksheet that can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.
