Its purpose is to inform clinicians about the selection, use, and interpretation of formal assessments (whether structured interviews, self-report questionnaires, or ratings by clinicians or significant others) and to assist them in evaluating the potential utility of such measurement tools in clinical practice. This manual is not designed to be an encyclopedia of all available measures in all relevant domains. Text sections for each measure discuss: Goals; Description; Practical issues; Psychometric properties; Clinical utility; and References and suggested readings. A number of substance abuse instruments are included. A CD-ROM includes complete copies of 108 measures discussed in the handbook, as well as the text of the handbook. | | | | Entry Date: 200506 | Accession No.: 3497 |
