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.
