"...the book is an excellent resource to assist practitioners to
move beyond the mechanics of testing into the clinical enterprise
of assessment. It would be a welcome addition to the bookshelf of
practitioners at any stage of their career providing novices with
direct instruction in both technique and theory and more
experienced clinicians with excellent examples of what constitutes
best practice." --Canadian Journal of School Psychology (2008,
23:140)
"It has wonderful information that is invaluable for having a solid
knowledge base about this test. The editors and contributors are
credible authorities. The editors were also involved intimately
with WISC-III. They know the issues involved with intellectual
testing of children... The book contains everything you want to
know about the WISC-IV. It begins with the theoretical
underpinnings and then describes the changes between WISC-III and
WISC-IV, including eliminating the POI (Perceptual Organization
Index) and introducing PRI (Perceptual Reasoning Index), as well as
the development of a new index, the GAI (General Abilities Index).
The first five chapters do a nice job of presenting interpretive
strategies. The second half of the book addresses special
populations such as those with learning disabilities, ADHD, gifted
children, mentally retarded individuals, and hard-of-hearing and
deaf clients, to name a few. The book also has a nice chapter (13)
on neuropsychological implications when using the WISC-IV. The book
contains so much good information about the test that is readable
and useful. It is written by individuals very knowledgeable about
the test. There are useful clinical examples, along with research
findings to undergird the statements they make. This is a book that
you must have if you are going to do testing with children. It is
not just for the clinician but students who are in the process of
learning. It has much useful information and interpretive
strategies to guide one through a wealth of data obtained by the
WISC-IV. The book addresses special populations and contains
helpful cross-cultural information. I don't think there is any
other book to compare with it on this topic." --DOODY REVIEW
"...those who are ready to take the next step in the understanding
of the test's complexity and potential uses will expand their
knowledge a great deal after reading the Prifitera et al. volume."
