REVIEWERS' COMMENTS
Sattler’s sixth edition of the seminal Foundations of Behavioural, Social, and Clinical Assessment of Children offers readers a detailed and comprehensive, yet cohesive and tightly written synthesis of assessment. The systematic structure of the text, both with regards to the incremental chapter sequence and the methodical, signposted layout within chapters, ensures information flows. Indeed, one of the most significant strengths of the text lies in its organised, concise summation of numerous assessment measures, allowing the reader to straightforwardly access relevant information. —Sarah van Ree (2014).

"Hello Mr. Sattler, I hope you are well. My name is Kristine Saft and I am currently a first year student in the Master's in Applied Psychology program at Laurentian University. We utilized Foundations of Behavioral, Social, and Clinical Assessment of Children (sixth edition) textbook in our child assessment course. The text was a fantastic resource, not only for my child assessment course, but for my other courses as well. I was able to utilize the textbook in several other contexts. The text is both engaging and informative. The Resource Guide was perfect for exploring assessment tools as well as brainstorming methods of assessment for my thesis research."
