Measures for Clinical Practice and Research: A Sourcebook Volume 1: Couples, Families, and Children PDF

I have purchased a copy of MEASURES FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE since the first edition. First, note that the editors include "AND RESEARCH" for the 4th edition.

While teaching research, I assign students an instrument to study. I have employed MEASURES FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE for this assignment. Using real instruments is a great way to shepherd students into understanding complex concepts such as reliability, validity, factor analysis, alpha coefficient, etc. I use other volumes for this assigment, but students are more apt to select an instrument from Fischer and Corcoran. They do an excellent job of providing the details. The other options include:
