Assessment for Counselors connects theory to practice by providing comprehensive coverage of both the important foundational issues of assessment and in-depth explorations of the major areas of assessment that professional counselors need to know. This clearly written text presents essential assessment skills in easy-to-understand language with an emphasis on practical application so that you'll learn why, how, and when to best select, administer, score and interpret assessments for your future clients.

The 1st Edition includes case studies and assessment reports to give you opportunities for authentic practice, individual chapters on the most commonly used assessments and the most up-to-date references, resources and test reviews to keep up with changes in test revisions and the field. This book is also designed to address the core curricular assessment requirements of the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP, 2016).
