Reviews / Votes
"Measures for Clinical Pratice and Research: A Sourcebook, 4th edition describes 471 rapid assessment tests for psychological and social aspects like acute stress disorder, anxiety, cognitive slippage, contentment, pain, mood and stress. Although the tests are designed for clinical use, some of them are suitable for assessing the effectiveness of pharmaceuticals in clinical studies." --Journal of Clinical Research Best Pratices"These two volumes enable readers to review hundreds of instruments for use in clinical practice with adults, children, couples, and families. The inclusion of the actual instrument after the basic description is really the best feature. The fifth edition is justified because of the updated information it includes and the availability section that has been provided for 98 percent of the listings." --Gary B Kaniuk, Psy.D., Cermak Health Services
