Introduction to Psychological Assessment in the South African Context is an introductory text on measuring and assessing human behaviour within a complex multicultural environment.

The book provides advice with regard to assessing young children and individuals with disabilities, and also discusses the various contexts in which psychological measures are used, including education, counselling, the psycholegal domain, and research. Critical thinking exercises related to typical
assessment scenarios develop students’ reasoning skills. Real-life South African examples and case studies illustrate the theory and allow students to apply psychological assessment principles in practice.
