Preface The present volume, like the earlier ones in this series, is designed to help keep the assessment psychologist abreast of significant new devel opments in the field. The series is addressed both to the practitioner and the researcher, and has also proved helpful to graduate students in psychology, and this volume can usefully serve as a supplementary text for graduate classes in assessment. The chapters in the present volume, as in the preceding ones, are most directly relevant to workers in the areas of measurement, clinical psychology, and personality psychology, but some chapters will also be of use to specialists in other areas. It has been the policy, in determining chapter topics and in soliciting authors for volumes in this series, to first survey the field of psychological assessment as a whole, and then to focus on those trends and techniques that are particularly innovative and are at the forefront of current development. Our basic aim is to highlight and articulate advances in the field. It is, of course, not sufficient, In order for a theme to merit inclusion in this series, that it be essentially new; equally important, the contribu tion to the field of assessment must be substantial. This criterion means that topics selected for inclusion in this series are rarely completely novel; rather, they represent relatively new developments-which, how ever, have been sufficiently tested and utilized to make it evident that they truly are advances. We feel that the eight chapters comprising the present volume-the eighth in the ongoing series-meet these criteria particularly well, and it Is with considerable pleasure that we present them to the professional assessment community.
