This comprehensive reference and text provides detailed guidelines for assessing individuals with frequently encountered psychological problems. Bringing together leading contributors, the Handbook is organized around problem areas rather than assessment modalities. The volume reviews the empirical data on widely used screening and assessment tools; highlights strategies that are brief, practical, and psychometrically sound; and discusses applications to primary care and managed care settings. Each chapter identifies specific ways to use assessment results in planning the delivery of standardized, evidence-based interventions and in measuring treatment outcomes. Included are numerous detailed clinical illustrations, as well as handy tables facilitating comparison among relevant measures. --- from the publisher Table of Contents I.
