Product Description:
Complete coverage of administration, scoring, interpretation, and reporting.
Expert advice on avoiding common pitfall.s.
Conveniently formatted for rapid reference.
Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to confidently administer, score, and interpret the WAIS-III.
The latest version of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, WAIS-III, which includes several significant modifications and structural changes, three new subsets, and a variety of optional procedures, is a more sophisticated and complex instrument than its predecessors. Professionals who wish to use it properly need an authoritative source of advice and guidance on how to properly administer, score, and interpret the updated test. Coauthored by Alan S. Kaufman, who worked closely with David Wechsler on the WISC-R, Essentials of WAIS-III Assessment is that source.
Like all the volumes in the new Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, this book is designed to help busy mental health practitioners quickly acquire the knowledge and skills they need to make optimal use of a major psychological assessment instrument. Each concise chapter features numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that help you to gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information covered.
The initial chapters of Essentials of WAIS-III Assessment provide step-by-step guidance on test administration, scoring, and interpretation. In the chapters following, the authors provide their expert assessment of the test's relative strengths and weaknesses, valuable advice on its clinical applications, exciting new research data on aging and IQ, and several illuminating case reports.

As a clinical psychology student this is a must that any psychology student or psychologist. Has helped me tremendously in writing my reports.

I bought this book because it was claimed that it would explain how to score the wais-iii. It does explain how to count up the scores on the subtests but the only information on how to score it was a referral to the program to score it. I don't have the program, I want to score it myself. Very frustrating.

I sincerely worry about the clinical graduate student who couldn't follow this book -- perhaps s/he is in the wrong profession. I thought this book was well-written, understandable, and well-organized. Highly recommended!

This is a nice alternative to the WAIS-III manual--which can be quite dense. You may need to read passages more than once to understand the concept, but all becomes clear with time! The diagrams could be a bit more clear, but other than that a clear, succint read.
