Coauthored by Alan S. Kaufman, who was mentored by David Wechsler--the creator of the Wechsler scales--Essentials of WAIS¯®-IV Assessment, Second Edition is thoroughly revised and updated to provide beginning and seasoned clinicians with comprehensive step-by-step guidelines for effective use of the WAIS¯®-IV.
