I bought this book hoping to learn more about The Draw-A-Person test and I found it to be comprehensive. I'm writing a book "Clues to Your Subconscious," and although I've worked closely with psychologists as a social worker on a team, I still wanted more information and I was pleased with the book. I realize that illustrative interpretations are just examples, and conclusions based on this test alone may be invalid. I recommend the book.

Psychological Testing: History, Principles and Applications, was a textbook that did not catch my attention instantaneously. However, as I began reading it, the more I realized how important the information in it was for psychologists. Different measures and methods for researching psychological entities are explored in this textbook, guiding students of psychology how to conduct psychological research.
Not only did I find this textbook to be helpful, although a bit dry, my 85 year old professor has been using this textbook or a version of this textbook for over 10 years!

The book was listed as "like new" and I can't even tell if it was ever used. The pages look new, the binding was like it was brand new right off the shelf. Very happy with the book, the vendor, and buying the textbook from Amazon.

The text seems well written and it did help me to understand an area in which I had little exposure prior to reading this text. The only drawback is that it is lacking at least one chapter on marriage and family assessments....I would hope that this might be added to any future editions!
