About the Book
Providing a solid grounding in the most widely used approaches to adult personality assessment, this invaluable text presents a framework for constructing a "moving picture" of each client by integrating data from a variety of sources. Students learn to conduct assessments that take the complexities of the individual personality into account, serve as the basis for a rational treatment plan, and facilitate meaningful reporting and client feedback. An ideal text for courses in adult assessment and personality, the volume features an extended case example that brings key concepts to life.
Reviews
'Beutler and Groth-Marnat present personality assessment just the way it should be taught, learned, and practiced - as an integration of diverse procedures into a multifaceted assessment battery, and as an integration of interview and test findings into cohesive and individualized reports that provide useful answers to referral questions, particularly with respect to treatment planning. Contributors provide an excellent overview of the conceptual and empirical foundations of integrative personality assessment, together with detailed guidelines for putting it into practice. What they have to say will advance the field of personality and be valued by psychologists at all levels of experience, from beginning students to senior professionals.' - Irving B. Weiner, PhD, Department of Psychology, University of South Florida, USA'A key issue among mental health professionals today is the struggle to match rapid and efficient clinical assessment with targeted treatment intervention. Beutler, Groth-Marnat, and colleagues, in this volume, have once again made an essential contribution to guiding clinicians in this integrative task.' - John F. Clarkin, PhD., Department of Psychiatry, Weill College of Medicine, Cornell University
