9 P r e f a c e Psychologists offer an increasing variety of serv ices to the public. Among these services, psychological assessment of personality and behavior continues to be a central activity. One main rea son is that other mental health professionals often do not possess a high level of competence in this area. When one views psychologists who serve children and adolescents, psychological, assessment seems to take on an even greater role. It follows, then, that comprehensive and enlightened graduatelevel instruction in assess ment should be a high priority for educators of psychologists who are destined to work with youth. This book is an outgrowth of our efforts to improve our own instruction of child and adoles cent assessment skills. We found that existing textbooks were not serving us well. Most of them were encyclopedic, edited volumes that were (1) uneven in the quality across chapters and/or (2) not geared either in format or level of presentation for beginning graduate instruction. The few single- or co-authored volumes available tended to lack the breadth of coverage we deemed necessary. Some focused largely on the oretical issues related to psychological testing, with minimal discussion of practical applications and use of specific tests. Others focused solely on summaries of individual tests, without reviewing the theoretical or empirical context within which to use the tests appropriately. Hence, this volume reflects our desire to provide a more helpful tool for instruction - one that provides a scien tific context within which to understand psychological testing with children and adolescents and that translates this scientific context into practi cal guidelines for using individual tests in clinical practice. Among our specific objectives for this volume are the following: To focus on measures specifically designed to assess the emotional, behavioral, and social functioning of children and adolescents To provide current research findings that enable students to draw heavily on science as the basis for their clinical practice To help in the translation of research into practice by providing specific and practical guidelines for clinical practice To include a broad coverage of assessment methods from a variety of theo retical, practical, and empirical traditions To systematically compare tests and assess ment methods using research findings, reviews, and our own synthesis of positions To provide a readable volume that would en hance the interest and retention of students through the use of numerous xi
10 xii case examples, tables, research notes, and other boxes containing practical advice In writing a readable text that goes beyond a cursory survey of available instruments, we were faced with the difficult task of determining what specific instruments to include in the book. As we struggled with this decision, we eventually chose several selection criteria. Our main crite rion for inclusion was a test s ability to serve as an exemplar of some specific type of assessment in strument or theoretical approach to assessment. In many cases we looked for prototypes that we thought would highlight some key points to the reader that could then be used in evaluating other assessment instruments not covered specif ically in the text. Other criteria included a test s popularity or our estimate of a new test s poten tial impact on the field. Granted, this decision- making was highly subjective, but we strove to be analytic and to limit to the extent possible our personal feelings and biases. Fortunately, several external anonymous reviewers of earlier drafts of the text helped us to be more objective. A final point that should be clearly outlined is our basic orientation to psychological assess ment. We feel that the goal of psychological as sessment is the measurement of psychological constructs and, for clinical practice, measurement of psychological constructs that have important clinical implications, such as documenting the need for treatment or the type of intervention that is most appropriate. For an individual child the constructs that need to be assessed will vary from case to case and depend on the referral question. But what is important from this con ceptualization is that our view of psychological assessment is not test-driven but construct-driven. Without exception, assessment techniques will measure some constructs well and other psychological dimensions less well. Another important implication from preface this view of testing is that it is critical that assessors become familiar with and maintain familiarity with research on the constructs they are trying to assess. In short, the most critical component in choosing a method of assessment and in interpreting assessment data is understanding what one is trying to measure. In this volume, we have focused on the meas urement of psychological constructs that em phasize a child s emotional, behavioral, and social functioning. There is still a great debate over definitional issues in this arena of psychological functioning in terms of what should be called personality, temperament, behav ior, or emotions, with distinctions usually de termined by the level of analysis (e.g., overt behavior vs. unconscious motivational processes), assumed etiology (e.g., biologically determined vs. learned), or proven stability (e.g., transient problems vs. a stable pattern of functioning) (see Frick, 2004; Martin, 1988). Unfortunately, people often use the same terms with very different connotations. In writing this text, we tried to avoid this debate by maintaining a broad focus on psychological constructs, which often vary on the most ap propriate level of analysis, assumed etiol ogy, or stability. This definitional variability adds a level of complexity to the assessment process because assessors must always consider what they are attempting to measure in a partic ular case and what research suggests about the best way of conceptualizing this construct before they can select the best way of measuring it. It would be much easier if one could develop ex pertise with a single favorite instrument or a sin gle assessment modality that could be used in all evaluations to measure all constructs. Because this is not the case, psychologists must develop broad-based assessment expertise. Hence, our overriding objective in writing this volume is to provide the breadth of coverage that we feel is needed by the psychologist in training.
11 preface xiii We have organized the text into three sec tions consistent with our approach to teaching. Part I provides students with an introduction to the psychological knowledge base necessary for modern assessment practice including historical perspectives; meas urement science; research in developmental psychopathology; ethical, legal, and cultural issues; and the basics of beginning the assessment process (e.g., planning the evaluation, rapport building). Part II gives students a broad review of the specific assess ment methods used by psychologists, accompa nied by specific advice regarding the use and the strengths and weaknesses of each method. In Part III we help students perform some of the most sophisticated of assessment practices: inte grating and communicating assessment results and infusing assessment practice with knowledge of child development and psychopathology. We think that, on completion of this volume, and a similar one covering aspects of cognitive assess ment (Kamphaus, 2001 and in press), that the student psy chologist has the background necessary for supervised practicum experiences in the assessment of chil dren and adolescents.
