Psychology is of interest to academics from many fields, as well as to the thousands of academic and clinical psychologists and general public who can't help but be interested in learning more about why humans think and behave as they do. This award-winning twelve-volume reference covers every aspect of the ever-fascinating discipline of psychology and represents the most current knowledge in the field.

Personality Assessment provides an overview of the most popular self-report and performance-based personality assessment instruments. Designed with graduate-level clinical and counseling psychology programs in mind, the book serves as an instructional text for courses in objective or projective personality assessment.

An important component in documentation, accurate treatment plans provide such benefits as: meeting the accountability requirements of managed behavioral health care organizations; allowing for more efficient coordination of care with other health care professionals; and facilitating better communication with outside reviewers.
