The classic text--now updated with a new interpretive approach to
the WAIS?-III

Assessing Adolescent and Adult Intelligence, the classic text from
Alan Kaufman and Elizabeth Lichtenberger, has consistently provided
the most comprehensive source of information on cognitive
assessment of adults and adolescents. The newly updated Third
Edition provides important enhancements and additions that
highlight the latest research and interpretive methods for the
WAIS?-III.

Augmenting the traditional "sequential" and "simultaneous"
WAIS?-III interpretive methods, the authors present a new approach
derived from Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory. This approach
combines normative assessment (performance relative to age peers)
with ipsative assessment (performance relative to the person's own
mean level). Following Flanagan and Kaufman's work to develop a
similar CHC approach for the WISC?-IV, Kaufman and Lichtenberger
have applied this system to the WAIS?-III profile of scores along
with integrating recent WAIS?-III literature.

Four appendices present the new method in depth. In addition to a
detailed description, the authors provide a blank interpretive
worksheet to help examiners make the calculations and decisions
needed for applying the additional steps of the new system, and
norms tables for the new WAIS?-III subtest combinations added in
this approach.

Assessing Adolescent and Adult Intelligence remains the premier
resource for the field, covering not only the WAIS?-III but also
the WJ III?, the KAIT, and several brief measures of intelligence,
as well as laying out a relevant, up-to-date discussion of the
discipline. The new, theory-based interpretive approach for the
WAIS?-III makes this a vital resource for practicing psychologists,
as well as a comprehensive text for graduate students.
