About the Book

Completely revised and rewritten, this textbook is intended for use primarily at upper division or beginning graduate levels. Useful to accompany lectures and seminars on personality theories and research, this second edition contains a considerable amount of new material on cognitive assessment. This work provides a foundation for comprehensive courses on psychological assessment and testing. Each chapter ends with a summary, exercises and activities, and includes suggestions for further readings. Containing a variety of new illustrations and examples, the presentation quickly evolves from the historical to the contemporary practices in the field, while emphasizing both the limits and advantages of the many procedures widely used today for personality assessment. Exam copies for possible adoption, and an instructor's manual, which reflects over 30 years of teaching experience, are available for faculty members. Dr Aiken's book is not only a practical source for students, but is also intended for clinical psychologists, administrators and social workers.
