Poor quality, with offensive and inaccurate language

If this text is required reading for your course, please bring the following to you instructor's attention. This book includes racist and derogatory comments:

“Native Americans may underestimate the seriousness of tests, lack test-taking skills, or lack motivation to perform on tests.” (p. 66 )

“Test sophistication also affects performance for Asian Americans. The later generations ofJapanese and Chinese American come from backgrounds in which the mean income level equals or surpasses that of Whites, and they hold many attitudes and values similar to the majority culture. There are aspects of their cultures, however, that influence them to place increased emphasis on the results of achievement and aptitude tests and less on other types of performance. In addition, education, especially higher education, is much valued and supported, with particular value placed on attending prestigious institutions of higher education… …Given the within-group variation among Asian Americans, client motivation and test sophistication are quite different for other subgroups, such as Southeast Asians.” (p. 66-67)

“With minority communities, there is often a lack of continuity of values between school and family as well as a lack of diversity in the occupations that exist as models for children from these backgrounds.” (p. 72)

“Clients from a culture in which the emphasis is on agreeing with nearly everything…” (p. 72)

Great Text

I found this textbook easy to read and attuned to the problems with psychological assessment. Authors encourage a contextual and comprehensive assessment process that seems to put the person first. It is not very inclusive of solution-focused models for assessment where strengths rather than problems are assessed so it is somewhat traditional in that sense. Still a good read for psychology/counselling students.

I’m in a master program and was assigned this book for my assessments class. It has easily been the most useful textbook I've read throughout all of my classes and it will be staying on my bookshelf for easy reference even after this class is over. The important things are laid out easily in an understandable and uncomplicated way. As a student who constantly has to read so much, I am grateful to come across a good book like this.

This was a very helpful text to me when I started my masters program in counseling (psychology). It tackles the complex nature of assessment in a straightforward manner that makes it easier to understand than a lot of other texts out there. Definitely recommended.

Easy to understand

Easy to understand, chapter summaries are helpful. However it doesn't have an answer key for the review questions, which is a bust because some of them are trick questions and can have more than one answer.
