Handbook of Psychological Assessment

Rating:
Summary: We need a 4th edition
Review: Groth-Marnat's Handbook of Psychological Assessment has been a great book in all of its editions. The Third Edition, however, is getting a bit old in the tooth: it needs coverage of the CPI-R and the MCMI-III, and probably a chapter on the Five Factor Model (FFM) -- or a version of it -- as well as something on a Five Factor (Costa) or Seven Factor (Cloninger) instrument. When the Fourth Edition comes out, I want it ASAP!

Summary: The best book I've seen! (on the subject)
Review: This is great, everything you need to know about psych tests is right here. A must have if you are interested in the subject. I'm a psychology grad student at UCLA, and I must say this is a great read.

Summary: An essential reference for clinical psychologists
Review: You might think you can get by without this book during your graduate program, but I wouldn't recommend it. The text is very comprehensive -- pretty much any test you will encounter in your clinical work (with adults) is given treatment here. Excellent and thoughtful guide to interpreting test results (but you will still need to buy Roger Greene's MMPI-2 book and Exner's Rorschach Primers).
