The fourth edition of this essential resource has dozens of new scales as well as updated information for existing instruments, expanding and cementing its utility for members of all the helping professions, including psychology, social work, psychiatry, counseling, nursing, and medicine. Each instrument is reproduced in its entirety and critiqued by the editors, who provide guidance on how to select and score them. This volume focuses on scales for use with adults; its companion provides a range for couples, families, and children. Alone or as a set, these classic compendiums are powerful tools that clinicians and researchers alike will find an invaluable addition to - or update of - their libraries. Giving clinicians the scales they need to measure their clients' problems and monitor their outcomes, these all-in-one sourcebooks bring effective, accountable practice within reach for today's busy professionals.
This book is not only valuable for clinical practice. It is also of substantial utility in conducting research. Both undergraduate and graduate students find the measures invaluable when conducting course related research. Faculty also find them highly useful.

This book is an amazing resource in to not only getting an idea of where clients may be in regards to symptoms but also, it offers an immense amount of ideas for treatment plans and goals. One problem is the authors do not go into detail about subscales on several tools that have them. Its still a great buy and i reccomend it to any MSW .
