More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"Measures for Clinical Pratice and Research: A Sourcebook, 4th edition describes 471 rapid assessment tests for psychological and social aspects like acute stress disorder, anxiety, cognitive slippage, contentment, pain, mood and stress. Although the tests are designed for clinical use, some of them are suitable for assessing the effectiveness of pharmaceuticals in clinical studies." --Journal of Clinical Research Best Pratices
Product Description
The fourth edition of this essential resource has dozens of new scales as well as updated information for existing instruments, expanding and cementing its utility for members of all the helping professions, including psychology, social work, psychiatry, counselling, nursing, and medicine. Each instrument is reproduced in its entirety and critiqued by the editors, who provide guidance on how to select and score them. The first volume covers measures for use with couples, families, and children; its companion focuses on adults. Alone or as a set, these classic compendiums are powerful tools that clinicians and researchers alike will find an invaluable addition to - or update of - their libraries. Giving clinicians the scales they need to measure their clients' problems and monitor their outcomes, these all-in-one sourcebooks bring effective, accountable practice within reach for today's busy professionals.

Excellent 4th edition
1 Nov 2007
Format:Hardcover
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:
Antony, M. M., Orsillo, S.M. & Roemer. L. (2001). Practitioner's Guide to Empirically Based Measures of Anxiety. NY: Kluwer Acdemic/Plenum Publishers.
Bearden. W, Netemeyer, R.G. & Mobley, M.F. (1993). Handbook of Marketing Scales. Sage.
Davis, CM et al (1998) Sexuality-Related Measures Graphic Publishing.
Fredman & Sherman. (1987). Handbook for Measurement for Marriage and Family Therapy, Brunner/Mazel.
Heckman, L.L., Deacon, S.A. (1998). The Therapist's Notebook: Homework, Handouts, and Activities for Use in Psychotherapy. NY: Haworth.
Holman, A. M. (1983). Family Assessment: Tools for Understanding and Intervention. Sage.
L'Abate & Bagarozzi. (1993). Sourcebook of Marriage and Family Evaluation, Brunner Mazel.
McDowell, I. & Newell, C. (1996). Measuring Health: A Guide to Rating Scales and Questionnaires. New York: Oxford University Press.
Miller, D. & Salkind, N.J. (2002). Handbook of Research Design and Social Measurement, [5th ed] Sage.
Nezu, A. M., Ronan, G.F., Meadows, E.A. & McClure, K.S. (2000).Practitioner's Guide to Empirically Based Measures of Depression. NY: Kluwer Acdemic/Plenum Publishers.
Redman, B.K. (2001). Measurement Instruments in Clinical Ethics Sage.
Robinson, Shaver & Wrightsman. (1991). Measures of Personality and Social Psychological Attitudes. Volume I Academic Press.
Sajatovic, M. & Ramirez, L. F. (2001). Rating Scales in Mental Health. Hudson, OH: Lexi-Comp Inc.
Shaw & Wright. (1967). Scales for the Measurement of Attitudes, NY: McGraw-Hill.
Volume 1 includes 59 instruments for couples, families and children. All are very helpful for teaching and research. Final warning: some of these instruments are copy protected. For this, Fischer and Corcoran include an explicit note identifying which instruments cannot be copied from the book and used without first gaining permission.
