Michel Hersen 
Psychological Assessment in Clinical Practice 
A Pragmatic Guide

What happens when students trained in large hospitals become solo practitioners or members of small managed care offices? While most of the clinical assessments taught in graduate school require the large staff of a hospital to carry out their procedures, many new clinicians will not be working under such ideal circumstances and may find themselves unprepared to carry out direct evaluations on their own. Michel Herson’s text is intended to meet this need. Divided into sixteen chapters, each written by an expert in the field, the book is organized by diagnosis for ease of reference. Appropriate for students and practitioners alike, Psychological Assessment in Clinical Practice teaches readers how to perform assessments on patients in the absence of the instruments and assistants that many standard procedures assume.
