In 1989, the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies mandated that every police authority seeking accreditation with the Commission must have access to psychological support and consultation. This timely text offers an extensive and current overview of the services psychologists can offer to law enforcement. Organized under major subject areas--assessment, intervention, consultation and training--it deals with such issues as officer recruit selection, fitness for duty evaluations, stress counseling, hostage negotiation, investigative hypnosis, psychological profiling, management consultations and much more.

Unlike other books on child testing, this one establishes a conceptual framework for psychological evaluation of children. Instead of focusing on the assessment of particular conditions, it deals with what is important to find out about all children, normal and disturbed, and sets forth a standardized means of analysis, the Basic Psychological Examination. Covers practical aspects of the examination, including the interview group, the examination setting, preparing the child, formulating reports and recommendations, and conferring with parents. Comparable in scope and comprehensiveness to a physician's medical exam, the Basic Psychological Examination enables the practitioner to identify virtually anything out of order in a child's development. Practical and boldly original, the text commends itself to educators, researchers and clinicians alike.

(Preface AT TTHE TIME OF THIS WRITING, psychology as a sci...)
Preface AT TTHE TIME OF THIS WRITING, psychology as a science is nearing its one-hundredth anniversary. As a profession, psychology admits to adolescence rather than centenarianism. The development and progress of clinical psychology as a socially applicable profession is far more recent and is welldescribed elsewhere (1). Although clinical psychologists have been practicing for over twenty years, appreciable numbers of independent and qualified practitioners have offered services to the general public for only a decade. Even the term appreciable numbers is a rather qualified one. The past ten years have been marked by an increasing interest in what is loosely termed private practice. While the majority of well-trained clinical psychologists work in university or institutional settings, there is continual and growing interest in the offering of psychological services to the general public for a fee. There has been no commensurate increase in information or reports concerning principles or experience in private practice. Formal and informal discussions of this new area of endeavor at conventions and other professional gatherings sometimes result in strange ideas and mixed opinions.
