Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to confidently conduct Cross-Battery Assessment
The CHC (Cattell-Horn-Carroll)-based Cross-Battery approach is a time-efficient assessment method grounded solidly within contemporary psychometric theory and research. The CHC Cross-Battery Assessment systematically integrates tests from one of the major intelligence batteries (WISC-III, WAIS-III, WPPSI-R, DAS, K-ABC, KAIT, WJ-R/III, CAS, Leiter-R, and UNIT), with tests from other cognitive batteries or supplemental cognitive ability tests, enabling mental health professionals to expand their traditional assessments to include important abilities that are not measured by traditional test series. This new approach also includes guidelines for assessing the cognitive capabilities of culturally and linguistically diverse individuals.
Essentials of Cross-Battery Assessment includes widespread coverage of the key cognitive test batteries, expert assessment of the relative strengths and weaknesses of the tests, valuable advice on clinical applications, and illustrative case reports. The book also includes practical interpretation worksheets and summary sheets for anyone who wants to learn how to conduct cross-battery assessment.
Like all the volumes in the Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, this book is designed to help busy mental health practitioners quickly acquire the knowledge and skills they need to make optimal use of psychological assessment instruments. Each concise chapter features numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that help you to gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information covered.
