The first edition ofPersonality Assessmentprovided an overview of the most popular self-report and performance-based personality assessment instruments. The chapter authors were key members in creating or developing the research base for the eight test instruments covered in the book. The text was geared with graduate-level clinical, school, and counseling psychology courses in mind. While still retaining all of the attractive features of the first edition, this revision will reflect the advances of the field since 2008. Chapter contributors updated and expanded on reliability and validity data, clinical utility, multicultural considerations, and implications for therapeutic assessment. Another distinctive feature of this second edition will be a Moodle website that will feature ancillary materials such as PowerPoints and test banks. About the Editors: Robert P.
