BOOK REVIEWS
"What an incredible resource! Braaten has written what is clearly the most comprehensive child assessment handbook available. This indispensable book carefully walks the clinician through the entire assessment process and covers all conceivable areas of inquiry. This is an essential guide for the beginning practitioner and one that is sure to become a mainstay on every child clinician's bookshelf."--Lee A. Rosén, PhD, Colorado State University "Braaten has crafted a much-needed clinical and educational resource. This book is packed with information on child psychopathology, psychometrics, and treatment that is essential to understanding and presenting evaluation results. In addition to its clinical utility, the book provides invaluable tools for beginning and advanced graduate students in cognitive, personality, and neuropsychological assessment courses and clinical practica. Given the particular challenges of teaching report writing, this guide will be extremely useful in helping students interpret test data and generate reports that are integrated, well written, and helpful to clients and their families."--Steven R. Smith, PhD, Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara "This book will be of considerable value for graduate students, interns, and residents who are learning to diagnose and make recommendations for children referred for mental health or developmental evaluation. Braaten demystifies the process by making the underlying techniques crystal clear, and by offering guidance for collecting and organizing needed clinical data. This is the most clearly written and concise resource of its kind that I have seen."--Dennis K. Norman, EdD, Department of Psychology, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital
