<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"It has been about ten years since the original edition of Conducting Psychological Assessment came out, and since then it has been used consistently, especially within educational contexts, to train psychologists in the process of psychological assessment, especially related to integrating data and writing reports. The hypothesis testing model proposed in the original book has become the standard for ethical and rigorous comprehensive (multi-method) assessment. The second edition will take the foundational models from the first edition and add nuance and details that have been hammered out over the past ten years of running CE workshops based on the ideas in the book. Specifically, the author has developed well-received models of reconciling conflicting data from different sources, which can be incorporated into the data integration process chapter. Further, the author has begun to use several other models of personality functioning as a template for conceptualizing data (including the interpersonal circumplex model), which is used illustratively throughout the text"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Beginning-to-end, step-by-step guidance on how to conduct multi-method psychological assessments from a leader in the field</b></p> <p>The Second Edition of <i>Conducting Psychological Assessment: A Guide for Practitioners</i> delivers an insightful overview of the overall integrative psychological assessment process.

No one else writes more clearly, practically, and helpfully than Wright about psychological assessment--especially about the complex process of case conceptualization. This book should be required reading in every graduate course on psychological assessment."</br> <b>--Stephen E. Finn, PhD, </b> Founder, Center for Therapeutic Assessment <p>"A. Jordan Wright's <i>Conducting Psychological Assessment</i> is a comprehensive step-by-step guide to every aspect of psychological testing and assessment. Blending clinical wisdom with rigorous empirical evidence, the author guides readers though every phase of the assessment process, from selecting appropriate measures and collecting test data through writing assessment reports and providing feedback to clients. Experienced clinicians, early career psychologists, and students will all benefit from this important book; it should be on every clinician's bookshelf."</br> <b>--Robert F. Bornstein, PhD, </b> Derner School of Psychology, Adelphi University <p><i>"Conducting Psychological Assessment</i> (2<sup>nd</sup> ed) provides a clear, concise, practical guide to essential aspects of clinical assessment. Dr. Wright presents scholarly research, draws on extensive clinical experience, and illustrates his guidelines with rich case examples. Much of this information is typically not included in other assessment books, such as how to select tests, strategies to integrate contradictory data, and how to work with clients who disagree with assessment results. Accordingly, I recommend this to all health professionals involved with clinical assessment."</br> <b>--Gary Groth-Marnat, PhD, </b> ABPP, ABAP<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This new addition of Wright's useful text is a tour de force.
