Opis

This book brings together in one volume as many scales as would be practical for ease of reference. It enables the reader to pick the most appropriate scale for any situation. An estimated completion time for each scale is included. One hundred eighty scales are presented, grouped according to requirements. Each chapter also includes a brief summary of the main scales, which the authors feel would be most appropriate for the researcher, hospital specialist or GP.
