Practitioner's Guide to Developmental and Psychological Testing (Critical Issues in Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics)

This practical and jargon-free book meets the needs of the primary health care professional who is faced with the complexities surrounding developmental and psychological testing of children. It describes the contents of a variety of tests, their strengths and limitations, and their applications and interpretations. This information is explained in terms of suspected developmental delay and poor school performance-the two psychological issues most often encountered by pediatricians, family practitioners, and social workers.
