- Book Synopsis
- As one of psychology's oldest fields, personality assessment is one of the most extensively studied subsets of contemporary psychology. In this second edition of the Oxford Handbook of Personality Assessment, now titled The Oxford Handbook of Personality and Psychopathology Assessment, Joni L. Mihura brings together a respected group of international contributors to cover significant changes within the field of personality assessment. The Handbook is updated to cover a range of topics, focusing on four major goals: to integrate contemporary dimensional models of personality and psychopathology; to use a multimethod approach in which the method of assessment shapes the desired construct; to integrate collaborative/therapeutic assessment (C/TA) when possible; and to consider personality and psychopathology assessment through the lens of human diversity. Chapters highlight contemporary models of personality and psychopathology; psychometrics; diversity and inclusion (e.g. gender and gender identity, racial identity, and social justice); commonly used tests and personality assessment methods (e.g., PAIs, MMPIs, BASC, and Rorschach); the assessment of three key personality and psychopathology dimensions (internalizing, externalizing, and psychosis); and specific areas of assessment (e.g. suicide risk, violence risk, child custody, student threat assessment, and high risk assessments). The final chapter discusses key challenges and needed improvements, such as requiring construct validity meta-analyses for all test scales, improving insurance reimbursement for assessments, and the emergence of new technologies in assessment. Providing a thorough update on the contemporary practice of personality and pathology assessment, this edition offers an authoritative and field-encompassing resource for researchers and clinicians from across the medical health and psychology disciplines.
