Diagnostic Validity 330 $aThis guide to the WAIS-III and WMS-III tests is written to help clinical practitioners achieve efficient and accurate interpretations of test results. The only interpretive guide to be based on data obtained while standardizing the tests, this reference source provides new models for interpreting results, as well as practical information on the diagnostic validity, demographically corrected norms, and accuracy of the tests in measuring intelligence and memory. The focus of information is to allow clinicians to reduce variance in the interpretations of scores, indicating how best 410 0$aPractical resources for the mental health professional. 606 $aWechsler Adult Intelligence Scale 606 $aWechsler Memory Scale 615 0$aWechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. 615 0$aWechsler Memory Scale. 676 $a153.9/3 701 $aTulsky$b David S$01503460 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780115003321 996 $aClinical interpretation of the WAIS III and WMS III$93731854 997 $aUNINA
