Riassunto

Written for all health care professionals who wish to assess the problems of their patients and clients in a systematic and effective way whether diagnosing a problem, predicting the response to treatment or monitoring change. The editors have succeeded in making this book comprehensive in scope, covering the major areas in which most clinicians and researchers will desire ready access to measurement techniques and instruments including: screening and detection of psychiatric illness, depression, obsessions and compulsions, social dysfunctioning, mental handicaps, special problems of the elderly, drug problems, eating and sleeping disorders and sexual behavior. In addition to proposing guidelines for the selection and construction of measurement methods and listing the relevant questionnaires and techniques, the merits and limits of rating scales and other methods are considered. There is also an attempt to clarify diagnostic, definitional and other conceptual issues in relation to the problems covered.
