the clinical assessment of children and adolescents

Aimed at graduate students and psychologists, this handbook presents guidelines for conducting clinical assessments of children and adolescents. Each of 31 chapters features a comprehensive case study illustrating the practical implications of a particular method, diagnosis, or clinical issue. The final section is devoted to assessment in special populations, such as children with autism and adolescents who are members of ethnic minorities. Smith teaches clinical psychology at the U. of California, Santa Barbara, and Handler directs the U. of Tennessee's Clinical Training Program.
