About the CD-ROM.

Alan S. Kaufman, PhD, is Professor of Psychology at Yale University's Child Study Center in the School of Medicine and the Series Editor with Nadeen L. Kaufman of Wiley's Essentials of Psychological Assessment series. Dr. Kaufman worked closely with David Wechsler in the development and standardization of the WISC®-R, an earlier version of the test; has written numerous books on the Wechsler Scales and intelligence testing; and is the author of several popular assessment instruments used worldwide.

• The WISC-IV (published by Pearson) is the top intelligence assessment instrument for children in the US as well as in several other counties.  The first edition of this book has extremely strong sales history (more than 21,000 copies sold to date.)

• Each chapter completely updated and revised, this new edition also includes a CD-ROM with software for interpreting and scoring the WISC-IV.

• Both authors have published extensively on the Wechsler scales and Alan Kaufman collaborated with David Wechsler on the WISC-R, an earlier version of the test.
