Description: Psychological assessment, like architecturaldesign, most certainly involves "art." But in the same sense thatarchitects are expected to apply their art in a way that is consistentwith current physics and structural mechanics, so interpreters ofpsychological testing may be expected to practice their art in a waythat is consistent with current psychological principles. This bookmoves beyond specific tests to examine the meanings attributed toscores on various test scales. It helps readers understand the broader context within which test interpretations are rendered. This book offers a compilation of thoughtful andchallenging perspectives on test interpretation for practitioners andresearchers. It involves a discussion of psychometrics (the soundness of tests), but also explores the cultural context of test interpretation, the influence of inference and attribution error oninterpretation, and the role of test interpretation in influencing andpromoting therapeutic change."
