Psychological testing is most valuable when it makes a meaningful difference in a person's treatment. This groundbreaking book offers a person- and treatment-centred approach to psychological testing, as opposed to the more common test-centred approach. The result is a clinically nuanced and robust approach to inference making and data synthesis. The book's four sections parallel the flow of an examiner moving from overview to detail and back to synthesis: Part I describes treatment-centred diagnosis Part II focuses on assessment of the patient's psychological capacities Part III shows how to integrate the test information into a working understanding of the patient's problems Part IV explains how to consolidate test findings and communicate them clearly, using a detailed case example and sample report Readers will find much to benefit from in this evidence-based book linking test results to meaningful individualised treatment.
