One of the key challenges of all types of practice and research is finding a way to measure a given problem. The seminal Measures for Clinical Practice and Research two-volume set contains hundreds of the most useful measurement tools-alongside the authors' guidance on how to select and score them-for use in clinical practice and in research. Focusing on measures for use with adults whose conditions of concerns are not focused on family relationships or
couple relationships, this second volume includes an introduction to the basic priniciples of measurement, an overview of different types of measures, and an overview of Rapid Assessment Instruments. The text also
contains descriptions and reviews of each instrument and information on how they were selected.This book is designed to serve as the definitive reference volume on assessment measures for both practice and research in clinical mental health, and Volume 2 is updated with a new preface and target searches for instruments in health care conditions, personality disorders, and addictions. These classic Measures for Clinical Practice and Research compendiums are
powerful tools that clinicians and researchers alike will find to be an invaluable addition to-or update of-their libraries.

"I vividly remember when the first edition appeared, then a single
volume, and how grateful I was that Kevin Corcoran and Joel Fischer
had undertaken the immense effort involved in collecting,
selecting, and summarizing the rapid assessment instruments
contained therein. I was able to throw away the collection of
measures my students and I found useful in research and practice. .
. . As you use these rapid assessment instruments, invoke blessings
from whatever
higher power you believe in to be bestowed on Joel Fischer, Kevin
Corcoran, and their new co-author, Professor David Springer. I have
known all three of these distinguished academics for many
years,
and I join the numerous readers of past editions of this book who
have benefited from having these scales so conveniently at hand in
expressing my thanks for their efforts."
--From the Sixth Edition Foreword by Bruce A. Thyer, PhD, LCSW,
BCBA-D, Distinguished Research Professor, Florida State
University
"Measures for Clinical Practice and Research should be on the shelf
of every practitioner working in a human service setting. Through
the use of this book, practitioners will not only continue to meet
the ever increasing demands for accountability, but also satisfy
their own desires for objective, quantifiable indications of
progress in a manner that can be accomplished in no more than
several minutes. As I predicted over 25 years ago, 'the value of
this book
will increase,' and that continues to be the case."
--From the Fifth Edition Foreword by David H. Barlow, PhD, ABPP,
Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry, Boston University
