"In sum, this book continues to set the standard in the field and is strongly recommended as a basic reference guide for those clinicians who routinely do psychological testing." (Psychotherapy Review, 11/6/2006)
Review
This handbook will be extremely useful to students beginning their careers in psychological assessment, and to experienced assessors who want a handy resource when needed."
–Dr. Stephen Finn
"This Handbook is absolutely at the top of the “to read” list, or should be, for serious scholars of psychological measurement methods. Already known for its attention to detail and it’s depth, this edition of the Handbook has been given greater breadth through the addition of several great features: 1) The literature has been critically updated, 2) sections for working with special populations have been added, and 3) its content is tuned to important changes in the field. In all this, it has retained Groth-Marnat’s great clarity and devotion to being accurate and useful."
–Larry E. Beutler, PhD, ABPP; Stanford University School of Medicine
