Each instrument is reproduced in its entirety and critiqued by the editors, who provide guidance on how to select and score them. This first volume covers measures for use with couples, families, and children; its companion focuses on adults. Alone or as a set, these classic compendiums are powerful tools that clinicians and researchers alike will find an invaluable addition to - or update of - their libraries.
Giving clinicians the scales they need to measure their clients' problems and monitor their outcomes, these all-in-one sourcebooks bring effective, accountable practice within reach for today's busy professionals. |
Average Customer Rating:  Great Book for MFT Students Great book for learning about short assessments to use on clients once I'm a licensed MFT. Excellent 4th edition I have purchased a copy of MEASURES FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE since the first edition. First, note that the editors include "AND RESEARCH" for the 4th edition.
While teaching research, I assign students an instrument to study. I have employed MEASURES FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE for this assignment. Using real instruments is a great way to shepherd students into understanding complex concepts such as reliability, validity, factor analysis, alpha coefficient, etc. I use other volumes for this assigment, but students are more apt to select an instrument from Fischer and Corcoran. They do an excellent job of providing the details. The other options include:

Volume 1 includes 59 instruments for couples, families and children. All are very helpful for teaching and research. Final warning: some of these instruments are copy protected. For this, Fischer and Corcoran include an explicit note identifying which instruments cannot be copied from the book and used without first gaining permission.
Assessment Tools An excellent book: I was referred to it by a professor in my clinical research methods class - it will be invaluable for my thesis. |  |
