Essentials of WISC-V Assessment (Essentials of Psychological Assessment)

If you are studying to give the WISC or in school to be psychometrist, this book is great! It’s very detailed and provides you with invaluable information! A must read!

Good Textbook. Like any textbook, you can be forced to buy it but beware, your professor may never actually end up using it. That being said, invaluable if you're going into a field where you need to know how to administer the WISC-V.

This offers in-depth case reports as well as an exhaustive coverage of administration, scoring, and interpretation. By including appendices that are available online, WISC-V is invaluable to anyone wanting to use the new assesments. My husband uses this book in his own clinical practices. He says the neuropsychological assessment along with the X-Bass system is really useful. This book is already seeing hard use from him. Flanagan and Alfonso are recognized experts in assesment. This guide gives step by step how-to on working with the WISC-V. Acknowledged as the world's most-well-known and widely-used test, this book is an invaluable tool for identifying children with intellectual disabilities and specific learning disabilities, as well as those who are gifted. It really is a must-have for anyone working with children in these arenas.

I use this as a resource when writing reports. The days of de-emphasizing the FSIQ are over, and the authors explain why quite well. Good to reference when writing up educational implications. Only 4 stars because there aren't enough illustrative case reports. Especially for cases that have clinically significant differences between subtests within indexes. They are pitching their XBASS software throughout the whole book. Demerits for that as well. I have my opinions about the utility of XBASS but this is a review for the book, so I'll stick to it. For me, it's was worth buying.

A great book to understand the use of WISC V and why we need to communicate results of this tool on the benefit of children’s.
