Reviews

'A hugely successful endeavor... Highly recommended as a reference for psychologists, psychiatrists, and nurses, especially those engaged in research or whose practices call for formal assessment. The Handbook would also be an outstanding training resource in graduate-level courses in abnormal psychology or psychological assessment.' - Psychiatric Services 'I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the thorough assessment of psychological disorders as well as the relationship between assessment and evidence-based interventions.' - Psychotherapy Research
