The textbook is basic and cover most assessments that a counselor may use or see during counseling. It provides basic details for most measures and that is its biggest weakness is that it is to basic. Most of the assessments I learned about in undergrad school. I was hoping for more meat and more detail when it came to the MMPI and other measures of psychopathology.

If I didn’t need this book for a class that I’m taking, I would never have purchased it. The material is very dry and mundane. Every time I try to read a chapter for my class I end up falling asleep.

Students whose field of studies will take them into research and/or testing procedures should consider this book. It covers the historical and philosophical foundationsof testing, the ethical issues involved, and goes into great detail on all the statistical aspects of appraisal. Parts of it are over my head but this is due to my poor math background rather than the author’s style and content.

I purchased a copy of Appraisal Procedures for Counselors and Helping Professionals by Robert J. Drummond in order to review for the National Counselor Exam. It had been a number of years since I had taken a class in appraisal and I felt that I needed to brush up on the terms and basic principles. I found this book to be very helpful. The material is presented in an easy to understand format. I was worried about the appraisal section on the NCE. After reviewing this book, I felt much more confidnet about being successful on the appraisal section of the test. I recently took the NCE and passed. And, I actually did ok on the appraisal questions. I would recommend this book as an excellent review.
