Embarking on a different course than the 1988 edition which emphasized methodology, this iteration underscores the theory, research, and clinical foundations of behavioral assessment. While several of the 16 contributed chapters discuss research reviews that evaluate methods, others examine issues and case examples in diagnosis, legal and ethical aspects, and assessment of ethnic and linguistic minority children. Many of these authors also contributed to the practice-oriented companion volume, Conducting School- Based Assessments of Child and Adolescent Behavior (Guilford).
