On Hunsley, harangue, and hoopla
Article Abstract:
Hunsley's criticism on the "Assessment Practices of Clinical Psychologists" by the authors stemmed from their omission of the behavioral and cognitive assessment tools in the questionnaire forms. However, there was an "other" option in the questionnaire where the respondents could indicate other assessment procedures that were useful. Contrary to Hunsley's perception, there was no generalization on the state of psychological assessment practices since the 1960's.
