The most recent revision of one of the most popular memory
assessment instruments, the Wechsler Memory Scale-Fourth Edition
(WMS®-IV) is a widely used measure of memory functioning,
which is particularly useful in the assessment of individuals with
dementia, traumatic brain injury, and substance abuse problems,
among others. Professionals need an authoritative source on
administration, scoring, and interpretation in order to use this
test properly. Written by the test developers for the WMS®-IV,
Essentials of WMS®-IV Assessment is that source.
Like all the volumes in the Essentials of Psychological
Assessment series, this book is designed to help busy mental health
professionals, and those in training, quickly acquire the knowledge
and skills they need to make optimal use of major psychological
assessment instruments. Each concise chapter features numerous
callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and
extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that
help you gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information
covered.
Integrating WMS®-IV data with the WAIS®-IV and other
measures of cognitive ability and memory for adults, Essentials of
WMS®-IV Assessment now includes four new subtests and a
revised index structure. The authors also offer expert assessment
of the test’s relative strengths and weaknesses, valuable advice on
its clinical applications, and several illuminating case
studies.
