Recenzje

"This new addition of Wright's useful text is a tour de force. No one else writes more clearly, practically, and helpfully than Wright about psychological assessment--especially about the complex process of case conceptualization. This book should be required reading in every graduate course on psychological assessment."Stephen E. Finn, Ph.D.Founder, Center for Therapeutic Assessment
