The primary purpose of this revision remains identical to that of the first edition--to show how key personality, cognitive/behavioral, and vocational tests/assessment procedures can be used by counselors in their work with clients. Too often, assessment books only provide the reader with information about tests and assessment procedures. They do not, however, take the next step--showing readers how these tests/assessment procedures can be used and integrated into the actual work of counseling. This revision is designed to fill that void. Chapter authors, all of whom are experts in their respective topic areas, share the theoretical and research backgrounds about a particular test/assessment procedure and then provide a case example or examples to show how assessment data can be meaningfully incorporated into the counseling process.

For helping professional practitioners and students in training, and those preparing for licensure Using a case study approach--in a practitioner's voice--this practical guide helps beginning and future counselors understand and use various effective assessment methods, from interviewing and observing to tests and counselor- and client-friendly standardized measures. Here is valuable assessment information and guidance which emerging helping professionals can apply to various mental health, school, community, and organizational settings. Using a case study approach and written in a practitioner's voice, the book includes a variety of topics not found, or minimally covered in current counseling assessment textbooks: the risks and resources approach to assessment, interviewing principles and methods, exploring presenting problems and readiness for change, informal and formal observations, assessing the therapeutic alliance; standardized risk assessments, dangerousness to self and others, and assessing substance use. Based on the premise that assessment is an on-going information gathering process that relies on multiple methods and sources for making decisions or answering a question, this guide takes a balanced, comprehensive approach that looks at much more than the traditional coverage of assessment alone. Three chapters detail the most commonly used assessment methods--interviewing and observing--and the author describes the traditional tests and measurement concepts of reliability and validity. Also unique to this guide are its detailed descriptions of, and applications for, standardized measures which readers can use immediately to administer, score, and interpret.

Because testing has long been regarded as an important role for counselors, they traditionally have provided a variety of testing services, including personality, vocational, intellectual, and aptitude testing. A major purpose of this book is to show how these kinds of tests can be used to augment and facilitate the counseling process. Testing in Counseling Practiceprovides current information about various tests and assessment methods such as historical foundations and conceptual background, measurement properties, administration and interpretation, implementation, and future research directions. The book is divided into three sections: personality assessment, vocational assessment, and contemporary issues and innovations. Each chapter is written either by the person who developed and originated the test/assessment method or by the person who is regarded as the major interpreter of it. Case examples showing how various test/assessment methods can be used in counseling practice are also included.
