Clinical Assessment for Social Workers: Quantitative and Qualitative Methods (Fifth edition)

"The fifth edition of Clinical Assessment, like earlier editions of this text, continues to show how to combine practice wisdom and evidence-based methods when formulating assessments and intervention plans.

This new edition also emphasizes the biopsychosocial-spiritual framework and the importance of the strengths perspective in assessment, including updates on neuroscience.

Additionally, every chapter in this fifth edition includes new updated information that covers approaches to assessment, and how to assess various client populations including clients who experience adverse childhood experiences, trauma and clients from under represented minority backgrounds.

Like the 4th Edition of this text measurement instruments are added in each chapter including measures from the public domain that can be used for pedagogy and clinical practice"--.
