Practicing psychologists, as well as interns and graduate students in psychology, need a broad array of diagnostic techniques and clinical assessment skills for successful practice in medical and surgical hospital settings. A first-of-its-kind text, Psychological Assessment in Medical Settings discusses scientifically valid assessment approaches, with 41 case studies that illuminate a variety of issues and techniques, and detailed practical guidelines for clinicians. The authors untangle the complexities of today's intense healthcare market, in which psychologists must possess a comprehensive knowledge of scientifically valid diagnostic techniques and acute skill in directing patients to the appropriate care site. Their "hands-on" guidebook equips professionals with skills to enhance their practice through use of accurate clinical assessment tools that can also be used to document treatment effectiveness
