Preface
The present volume, like the earlier ones in this series, is designed to
help keep the assessment psychologist abreast of significant new devel
opments in the field. The series is addressed both to the practitioner and
the researcher, and has also proved helpful to graduate students in
psychology, and this volume can usefully serve as a supplementary text
for graduate classes in assessment. The chapters in the present volume,
as in the preceding ones, are most directly relevant to workers in the
areas of measurement, clinical psychology, and personality psychology,
but some chapters will also be of use to specialists in other areas.
It has been the policy, in determining chapter topics and in soliciting
authors for volumes in this series, to first survey the field of psychological
assessment as a whole, and then to focus on those trends and techniques
that are particularly innovative and are at the forefront of current
development. Our basic aim is to highlight and articulate advances in the
field. It is, of course, not sufficient, In order for a theme to merit inclusion
in this series, that it be essentially new; equally important, the contribu
tion to the field of assessment must be substantial. This criterion means
that topics selected for inclusion in this series are rarely completely
novel; rather, they represent relatively new developments-which, how
ever, have been sufficiently tested and utilized to make it evident that
they truly are advances.
We feel that the eight chapters comprising the present volume-the
eighth in the ongoing series-meet these criteria particularly well, and it
Is with considerable pleasure that we present them to the professional
assessment community.

gratitude to the 14 authors whose scholarly contributions have resulted
