Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Practical clinical guidance for Delis-Kaplan executive functioning test administration and interpretation Referenced in more than 26,000 scholarly journal articles, the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System remains the most widely used individually administered executive functioning battery. Essentials of the D-KEFS and D-KEFS Advanced Assessment delivers direct instruction on administering, scoring, and interpreting both the original battery and the expanded version, which introduces updated digital subtests alongside new measures. Written by three practicing clinicians who regularly lecture on executive functions and test usage, this book frames procedures in practical clinical terms. Coverage addresses both original subtests and newly introduced measures, spanning academic, clinical, and forensic assessment contexts. The thorough yet concise Essentials format enables rapid skill building without sacrificing the depth required for accurate interpretation. Readers will also find: - Strategies for integrating Delis-Kaplan results into broader neurocognitive batteries and connecting subtest findings to targeted intervention plans - Guidance on evaluating executive functioning across the lifespan, including neurobehavioral aspects of complex medical and developmental cases - Clinical interpretation frameworks linking subtest performance patterns to real-world demands in daily living and occupational functioning - Coverage of executive functioning's role in academic performance, supporting school psychologists expanding into neurocognitive assessment practice - Step-by-step scoring procedures and administration protocols designed for both experienced neuropsychologists and clinicians new to these measures Clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, and school psychologists seeking to strengthen executive functioning assessment will find this an authoritative clinical resource. Graduate students and faculty in assessment courses benefit from its structured approach to Delis-Kaplan test administration, scoring, and interpretation across diverse practice settings.
