Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2020
This book was recommended/required for a course I took. The price was painful, but the text is extremely useful and presents the nuances of the PAI, both in administration, scoring, and interpretation, clearly and in a palatable manner. I'm sure I will continue to refer to it, through assessment practicum cases and into internship.

As a psychological trainee in a clinical program, this has been a godsend. This is what I needed to explain the different scales, the validity scales especially. This is my go to now anytime I need to assess a PAI. It is very useful for clients that are a bit more challenging either in interpreting or trying to get a better idea of how scales interact.

The book is full of generally useful information. The validity and reliability information can be found in the test manual so is not really useful here. The chapters on scoring and interpretation are concise, well written and make it easier to come up with a comprehensive picture of the client. It is well worth the investment of both money and time.

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019
I ordered this book for an assessment class in graduate school and continue to use it in assessment sessions with clients. The book is easy to read and understand. I appreciated how they went into detail about how the different scales relate to each other. My only complaint is that sometimes the wording is a bit confusing and it would have been nice to have more case examples for different code profiles. It also did not go into much detail about Side C of the PAI results, which is frustrating. Overall this book is a great tool.

Se trata de un libro interesante, que aporta información relevante. Seria interesante su traducción al español dado que esta prueba se utiliza cada vez mas en este idioma. Sres de Amazon; la calidad de las opiniones seguramente aumentaria si no obligaran a escribir un minimo de palabras.
