Description

The authors present an empirically based assessment approach that provides concrete guidelines for clinical work. Using ratings, direct observations and interviews, they discuss methods for assessing childhood dysfunction based on a comprehensive integration of information from parents, teachers and children. The material is presented with clinical illustrations that convey the use of specific assessment techniques for intake, case evaluation, decisions about treatment, management and follow-up.
