Taylor & Francis Managing Clinical Risk
Book SynopsisThe second edition of Managing Clinical Risk is an authoritative guide on how to engage in risk assessment and management practice in evidence-based, accountable and effective ways.Over the course of a dozen chapters, each oriented around a brief case study reflecting a different area of risk, practitioners are offered guidance on how to read referrals, how to decide what information matters to their evaluations, how to speak to a person who may be reluctant to engage in an assessment of this kind, how to organise the information they have gathered in order to prepare a risk formulation that will in turn guide risk management, and how to communicate opinions and recommendations in ways that have an impact. The book provides an evidence-based understanding of risk assessment and management in key areas of practice violence, sexual violence, suicidal and self-harmful behaviour, as well as family and relationship violence, organised criminal and group-based violence, andTable of Contents 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Constructing Measures
Book SynopsisConstructing Measures introduces a way to understand the advantages and disadvantages of measurement instruments. It explains the ways to use such instruments, and how to apply these methods to develop new instruments or adapt old ones, based on item response modeling and construct references. Now in its second edition, this book focuses on the steps taken while constructing an instrument, and breaks down the building blocks that make up an instrumentthe construct map, the design plan for the items, the outcome space, and the statistical measurement model. The material covers a variety of item formats, including multiple-choice, open-ended, and performance items, projects, portfolios, Likert and Guttman items, behavioral observations, and interview protocols. Each chapter includes an overview of the key concepts, related resources for further investigation, and exercises and activities. A variety of examples from the behavioral and social sciences and educationincludTrade Review"I think it would be hard to overstate the importance of Mark Wilson’s Constructing Measures for researchers and practitioners engaged in the construction and validation of measures of human properties. This volume provides usable, concrete guidance for constructing instruments including but not limited to educational tests, survey-based measures, and psychological assessments, and is particularly remarkable for its comprehensive treatment of the entire (iterative) process of instrument design, including construct definition, item writing and vetting, and quality control via thoughtfully chosen psychometric models (in particular, the Rasch model and its extensions). Further, it is written in an accessible style and would be a great entry point for non-specialists, but also provides sufficient rigor for those who wish to more deeply understand both the mathematical and conceptual foundations of measurement."Andrew Maul, Associate Professor of Education, UC Santa Barbara"Professor Wilson is one of the world's outstanding leaders in measurement. I have used the first edition of his book in all of my graduate courses on measurement. His book takes the complex process of constructing measures, and breaks it into four building blocks. These building blocks can be used by anyone who seeks to create useful and defensible measures in the human sciences. The new edition promises to introduce a new generation of students and researchers to the essential aspects of constructing measures."George Engelhard, Professor of Educational Measurement and Policy, The University of Georgia "This volume is an excellent and important update to the original Constructing Measures. Broadly applicable to educational measurement and assessment, it should be in every university library collection. Faculty and students will find this volume helpful for many courses."Kathleen Scalise, Professor at the University of Oregon (Education Studies and School Psychology)"Twenty years ago, the first edition of this book opened for me the door to the magic world of measurement. In this second edition, Mark unpacks complex and abstract measurement concepts into easy-to-follow building blocks, grounded in real-world examples. This book is an ideal choice for instructors who are about to teach an introductory course in measurement and for students eager to foray into the measurement world."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Fundamentals of Psychological Assessment and
Book SynopsisFundamentals of Psychological Assessment and Testing describes how to effectively practice psychological assessment, diagnosis, case conceptualization, and treatment planning in the outpatient mental health field. Written principally for those in training and clinical practice, this book adopts an applied practical approach, outlining the process in a clear, step-by-step manner, with numerous illustrations, flowcharts, figures, and tables. It also includes report outlines and practice forms with pre-drafted treatment recommendations, available on an accompanying e-resource, for the major psychotherapy approaches and common alternative treatment modalities. Chapters describe how to employ these practice outlines and forms, with clearly defined concepts and psychological constructs. Finally, the book includes a chapter on the basics of psychological measurement so that mental health clinicians of all training backgrounds know when to utilize this valuable serTrade Review"This book is a must read for aspiring clinicians and those responsible for training the next generation of mental health providers. It reflects Dr. Spores’s broad depth and breadth of knowledge informed by decades of clinical experience and his background in law. Dr. Spores skillfully weaves together the complex intersection between principles of assessment, ethical obligations, and legal guidelines. This book takes the reader from broad topics to specific strategies for addressing complex psychological, cultural, and social issues in a way that remains sensitive to identity and focused on maximizing accuracy of assessments. While many texts refer to thorny issues in clinical practice, Dr. Spores provides clear step-by-step guidance on effectively addressing these issues. Above all else, this book provides emerging professionals with practical strategies and resources for assessing psychopathology and making empirically informed treatment decisions."Dean Lauterbach, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Eastern Michigan University"This comprehensive guideline on the fundamentals of psychological assessment and testing should be in the hands of every new mental health practitioner, as well as on the reference shelves of seasoned clinicians alike. Of particular utility is the inclusion of treatment recommendations for all of the major psychotherapy approaches. Spores’s work is well-researched, useful, and clearly informed by his 30+ years of experience in the field."Teresa Young, LMFT, LAC, Director, Outpatient Mental Health & Addiction Services, Porter-Starke Services (CMHC Valparaiso, IN)"An extremely thorough and practical guide for improving basic knowledge and efficacy in assessment, treatment planning, and psychological testing. This book is an invaluable introduction to the clinical interview and standardized testing process for both students and clinicians in mental health and related fields. Filled with helpful supplemental visual guides, tables, and forms to assist in honing your approach, it’s an excellent companion for the novice and expert alike."Quynh Chau, Psy.D., H.S.P.P.

Taylor & Francis Culturally Responsive Assessment in Classrooms
Book SynopsisCulturally Responsive Assessment in Classrooms and Large-Scale Contexts explores how scholars and professionals in educational measurement and assessment can use the unique cultural and social identities of students to shape assessment purpose, design, implementation, use, and validation processes. Despite the sheer diversity of student populations in the United States, the tools used to understand their performance and progress have not substantively changed in decades. Large-scale testing and related policies still privilege âœculturally neutralâ test content, standardization, and comparability. Classroom assessments often mimic these procedures, even though rich tasks and activities could easily be incorporated into curriculum and instruction to allow students to see themselves, their interests, communities, beliefs, and backgrounds represented and valued. This book collects the theory, research, and best practices that are essential to ensuring cultural responsiveness in

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Four Domains of Mental Illness
Book SynopsisThe Four Domains of Mental Illness presents an authentic and valid alternative to the DSM-5, which author René J. Muller argues has resulted in many patients being incorrectly diagnosed and wrongly medicated. Dr. Muller points out where the DSM-5 is mistaken and offers a guide to diagnosis based on the psychobiology of psychiatrist Adolf Meyer and the insights of existential philosophy and psychiatry. His model identifies the phenomena of the mental illnesses that clinicians most often see, which are characterized by identifying their structure, or partial structure. Using the FDMI approach, clinicians can grasp how each mental illness is an aberration of Martin Heidegger's being-in-the-world. Trade Review"One of the vexing ‘realities’ of working in the mental health professions is trying to understand the complicated symptom profiles of actual persons in stark contrast to the clearly demarcated syndromes of the official classification systems. Inspired by great psychopathologists of the past—Jaspers, Meyer, and McHugh—René J. Muller wrestles with this contrast directly. He systematizes our prevailing classifications and offers an enlightening perspective on the interaction between personhood and psychiatric distress."Peter Zachar, PhD, professor of psychology, Auburn University MontgomeryThis a fascinating discussion of an extremely timely topic in mental health. For over 50 years the standard diagnostic reference has been the DSM (authored by the American Psychiatric Association), but criticism of this manual has been steadily growing with a sharp crescendo upon the publication of DSM 5 a couple of years ago. The negative reaction was widespread from professionals, news media, and academics, and the Director of NIMH responded by announcing that the DSM would no longer be used for psychiatric research due to its lack of validity.... My overall reaction to the book is positive… Since I am in agreement with much of the criticism of DSM, I find Dr. Muller’s Four Domain approach a welcome alternative.—Robert L. Taylor, MD, psychiatrist, Austin, TXIn general, I was terribly impressed by his erudition, and by his ability to take trenchant examples from belles lettres, from the movies, and from his neighbors! Dr. Muller exemplifies something that has become quite rare in medicine: a clinical scientist with deep humanistic learning. This makes much of the book a joy to read, even if, I as a reader often had to suspend disbelief—Edward Shorter, professor of psychiatry, University of TorontoTable of ContentsForeword Preface Acknowledgments PART I: WHERE PSYCHIATRY HAS BEEN, NEEDS TO GO, AND HOW TO GET THERE 1.

Book SynopsisThis book is an introduction to the field of psychological and educational testing. It is written for college level students and covers the nature of tests and how they are constructed, administered, and interpreted.Trade Review"...Overall, the content of the book is useful and well laid out. Each section is introduced clearly, followed by graded content and then concluded with both suggested readings and discussion questions. The flow of chapters in the book is excellent. Each new chapter follows from previous discussions and is introduced with the chapter’s aims. The language used is pitched at a level which is suitable for undergraduate students.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Disorders of Personality
Book SynopsisNow in its Third Edition, this book clarifies the distinctions between the vast array of personality disorders and helps clinicians make accurate diagnoses. It has been thoroughly updated to incorporate the changes in the forthcoming DSM-5. Using the classification scheme he pioneered, Dr.Trade Review"The current text, Disorders of Personality: Introducing a DSM/ICD Spectrum from Normal to Abnormal, is the third edition of this classic within the field of personality disorder. Millon's greatest skill is his scholarly acumen, and this is on full display within this rich, erudite volume. If clinicians, scholars, or researchers whish to know anything about the history of personality disorder classification, the first place to look would be this book. It is likely that all questions will be answered.... This third edition does include new material. Millon has further developed his evolutionary theoretical model, he has added discussions of 50 new therapy cases, he indicates the normal variants of each personality disorder, he includes a dimensional schema of traits for therapeutic planning, and he even introduces a completely new personality disorder diagnosis: the ebullient/exuberant/turbulent personality type.... The strength of this text is in its coverage of the far past and recent history of personality disorder conceptualization and classification, and that does not change much. Plus, to Millon's credit, although he presents these volumes as companions to a respective edition to the diagnostic manual, he has not revised his nomenclature simply to conform to what is included in the DSM. He continued to endorse the passive-aggressive and sadistic personality disorders when they were removed, and now he continues to endorse the histrionic, paranoid, and schizoid personality disorders." —Thomas A.
