Reviews
Assessment in Counseling: Practice and Applications has a casual narrative and provides key information to readers about assessment processes in counseling. The chapters are laid out effectively and include realistic clinical case studies that are consistently applied throughout the book. Furthermore, it is clear the authors' wealth of knowledge and experience inform the content included in this book. * Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development * Balkin and Juhnke breathe new life into assessment pedagogy. . . . Drawing from an ancient proverb, most assessment textbook authors give you a fish; Balkin and Juhnke teach you how to fish. The case studies provide a solid anchor to the content, allowing the reader to clearly see the direct application of various approaches to assessment. This is a brilliant introductory text for preparing counselors to engage in the assessment process. * Craig S. Cashwell, PhD, LPC, NCC, ACS, CSAT-S, Professor, Department of Counseling and Educational Development, University of North Carolina at Greensboro * This text delivers an approachable way for counseling students to learn about assessment—it provides comprehensive coverage of all the information students will need after graduation, without belaboring it. I love that case studies are introduced in the beginning, and then applied to the material throughout the text. This provides students with continuity, and gives them a deeper understanding of the material. * K. Michelle Hunnicutt Hollenbaugh, PhD, LPC-S, Associate Professor, Department of Counseling & Educational Psychology, Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi *
