More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Forty-four scales are described that access psychopathology and/or behavior problems in children (under 18 years of age). Excluded are tests of intelligence, intellectual functioning, brain development, cognitive development, perception, and projective tests. Scales included in this review are suitable for clinical and epidemiological research, are current (reported since 1967), have been used in at least one research study, have undergone some testing as to feasibility, and have some available psychometric data. The scales are divided into psychiatric interviews, general psychopathology scales, specific syndrome scales (hyperactivity, anxiety, depression, fear), and brief reports of miscellaneous scales. Each scale is reviewed as to its purpose, method of obtaining information, informant, scale properties, content, and psychometric properties (extracted in summary in a table for ease of review). Relevant references are cited after the description of each scale. (Author/GK
