testing. The first four chapters focus on history taking,
test selection, profiling of
test results, report writing, and informing the client. The remaining thirteen chapters contain nearly all the
tests covered in the first edition plus almost the same number of new ones. Some of the new
tests are: Kaufman-Brief Intelligence
Test, Mini-Mental State Examination, Wechsler Individual Achievement
Test, Design Fluency
Test, California Verbal Learning
Test, and Boston Diagnostic Aphasia
Test. For each
test, the authors provide a thorough description, source and price, instructions for administration, duration, scoring procedures, normative data, and validity information. They also discuss special
tests and clinical techniques in examining the functional integrity of brain regions. The volume does not limit itself to the adult age range, but includes all the norms available for pediatric and gerontological populations, as well as neuropsychological
tests developed specifically for children.br1. History Takingbr2.
