Review:

“This book is extremely clear on what information is needed to adequately screen for a possible disorder.... Each of the 15 chapters succinctly enumerates the instructions for the examiner, the client and the screening criteria and norms.... A valuable contribution the volume makes is not only the norms but the focus on using reliable and valid measures. In addition, it offers the opportunity for screening instruments to be used by those with various levels of training.”
- The National Psychologist
