They were the most frequently borrowed books I possessed and several occasions my copies failed to be returned, a rough indicator of their interest and value! The fourth edition is newly expanded, with a clinically useful overview of the principles measurement applied to practice issues, and a terrific new cross-index, linking together various measures by problem area, not only by clientele (individual, couple, family or children). I love this two volume set of pencil and paper measures useful in assessing clients and in evaluating treatment outcomes. It is one of the handiest tools I have in teaching practice, assessment, and evaluation research. Every agency must keep a copy on its bookshelf! Every practitioner will find it useful!"-- Bruce A. Thyer, Ph.D., Professor of Social Work, Florida State University "All you need for counseling is a box of tissues, a clock, and this collection of instruments. After a few years in practice you can do without the clock, but the Measures for Clinical Practice and Research will still be useful. Here are convenient tools for assessment and documentation that can address concerns about outcomes and accountability. Keep this book (and the tissues) close to hand."-- Bentson McFarland, MD, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry, Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Oregon Health & Science University "Once again, Joel Fischer and Kevin Corcoran have compiled an extremely helpful resource not only for practitioners but for researchers as well. In cogent chapters written in an accessible style, readers are provided with just the information they need to make intelligent and empirically-grounded choices aboutmeasurement instruments. Earlier editions of Measures for Clinical Practice sit in a prominent place on my office bookshelf, and I find myself consulting them often. Drs. Fischer and Corcoran have provided an important service for our field."-- Peter Salovey, PhD, Chris Argyris Professor of Psychology, Dean of Yale College, Yale University ""Clear and effectively written...A very helpful reference for both practitioners and researchers to locate a useful range of measurement tools."--British Journal of Social Work , .."[Corcoran and Fischer] continue with their extraordinarily successful endeavor which enables practitioners to choose the most appropriate measurement instrument for problems they encounter in a matter of minutes.
