Synopsis
The fifth edition of Corcoran and Fischer's Measures for Clinical Practice and Research is updated with a new preface, new scales, and updated information for existing instruments, expanding and cementing its utility for
members of all the helping professions, including psychology, social work, psychiatry, counseling, nursing, and medicine.
Each instrument is reproduced in its entirety and critiqued by the editors, who provide guidance on how to select and score them. This first volume covers measures for use with couples, families, and children; its companion focuses on adults.
Alone or as a set, these classic compendiums are powerful tools that clinicians and researchers alike will find an invaluable addition to - or update of - their libraries.

Review
"Measures for Clinical Pratice and Research: A Sourcebook, 4th edition describes 471 rapid assessment tests for psychological and social aspects like acute stress disorder, anxiety, cognitive slippage, contentment, pain, mood and stress. Although the tests are designed for clinical use, some of them are suitable for assessing the effectiveness of pharmaceuticals in clinical studies." --Journal of Clinical Research Best Pratices
"These two volumes enable readers to review hundreds of instruments for use in clinical practice with adults, children, couples, and families. The inclusion of the actual instrument after the basic description is really the best feature. The fifth edition is justified because of the updated information it includes and the availability section that has been provided for 98 percent of the listings." --Gary B Kaniuk, Psy.D., Cermak Health Services
