Here is the indispensable companion for every mental health practitioner. Under development for over five years and fine-tuned by input and feedback from hundreds of clinicians and program directors, the Psychologist's Desk Reference presents the huge variety of information required in daily
practice in one easy-to-use resource. Covering the entire spectrum of practice issues--from diagnostic codes, practice guidelines, treatment principles and report checklists, to insight and advice from today's most respected clinicians--this one-of-a-kind reference finally gives fingertip access to
the entire range of current knowledge. Intended for all use by all mental-health professionals, the Desk Reference covers assessment and diagnosis, testing and psychometrics, treatment and psychotherapy, ethical and legal issues, practice management and insurance, and professional resources.
Chapters have been clearly written by master clinicians and include easy-to-read checklists and tables as well as helpful advice. Handy visual tabs and cross-references add to the convenience of this user-friendly book. Filled with information psychologists use everyday, The Psychologists' Desk
Reference will be the most important and often referred to volume in the library of psychologists, social workers, and counselors everywhere.
