"Sattler and Ryan's new text is a gift to both emerging and experienced examiners. This edition preserves Dr. Sattler's
characteristic precision and merges this with incredibly supportive, comprehensive and practical advice for new
examiners. It simultaneously provides an excellent review of familiar testing procedures and detailed explanations
for new subtests, prompts, and administration guidelines for the fourth edition of the WAIS.
The authors feature the most current research, especially concerning the assessment of dementia, and present
deeply sensitive thinking about assessment and diversity. They also offer a creative, extensive description of
testing-of-limits procedures for more seasoned examiners, and critical discussions regarding strengths and limitations
of the WAIS-IV.
Examiners with varying levels of competence and confidence in the assessment of intelligence will benefit
from the detailed guidelines, critical analyses and practical applications offered in this text. Read each table
and figure to grasp the essence of the material, and to appreciate the depth of the authors' knowledge and their
commitment to training the next generation of examiners."
