Measures for Clinical Practice and Research

This seminal two-volume set contains hundreds of the most useful measurement tools--alongside the authors' guidance on how to select and score them--for use in clinical practice and in research. While the first volume focuses on measures for use with couples, families, and children, the second volume focuses on measures for use with adults whose conditions of concerns are not focused on family relationships or couple relationships. Both include an introduction to the basic priniciples of measurement, an overview of different types of measures, and an overview of Rapid Assessment Instruments. The texts also contain descriptions and reviews of each instrument and information on how they were selected. VOLUME 1; List of Instruments for Couples; List of Instruments for Families; List of Instruments for Children; List of Instruments for Adults (Vol. 2); List of Instruments Cross-Indexed by Problem Area (Vols. 1 and 2); Foreword by Bruce A. Thyer; Preface to the Sixth Edition; Part

I was able to throw away the collection of measures my students and I found useful in research and practice. . . . As you use these rapid assessment instruments, invoke blessings from whatever higher power you believe in to be bestowed on Joel Fischer, Kevin Corcoran, and their new co-author, Professor David Springer. I have known all three of these distinguished academics for many years, and I join the numerous readers of past editions of this book who have benefited from having these scales so conveniently at hand in expressing my thanks for their efforts. |s From the Sixth Edition Foreword by Bruce A.
