Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Assessment in Counseling takes a different approach to assessment courses, which students often experience as a statistics-heavy class accompanied by a wide variety of assessments. Richard S. Balkin and Gerald A. Juhnke emphasize the skills used in assessment and supports the use of these skills across a broad range of assessment instruments and strategies. Assessment, like more core areas of counseling, has a theoretical basis and a pertinent, practical component. However, this practical component often gets lost in the application of the skills and use of instructions that heavily rely on psychometric properties.
Written in an accessible, conversational tone, the book focuses on the application of the theoretical and measurement concepts of assessment in counseling and introduces three case studies that are followed throughout the text. Instead of introducing readers to a plethora of instruments, Balkin and Juhnke have selected seminal measures that students are likely to come across and use in the profession. Through the use of this book and their course content, students will gain the skills to search, select, and administer the type of assessment instruments deemed helpful for their practice as a professional counselor, regardless of specialization.
This new edition provides updates on the laws, codes, and instruments covered, the most recent application of measures and the psychometric properties associated with them, and additions on career assessment and personality. It also features a new chapter on environmental assessment that highlights data collection practices and the role of assessing, accommodating, and recommending levels of care.
Ultimately, this textbook serves as a guide for administering, scoring, interpreting, and communicating assessment results.
Assessment in Counseling: Practice and Applications has a casual narrative and provides key information to readers about assessment processes in counseling. The chapters are laid out effectively and include realistic clinical case studies that are consistently applied throughout the book. Furthermore, it is clear the authors' wealth of knowledge and experience inform the content included in this book.
