In this text,        Jim Taylor and a team of sport psychology experts help practitioners        gain a deep understanding of assessment in order to build trusting        relationships and effective intervention plans that address the needs        and goals of their clients.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Part I of \u003ci\u003eAssessment in Applied Sport Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e covers topics        such as the importance of assessment, the appropriateness of qualitative        and quantitative assessment, ethical issues that can arise from        assessment, and the impact of diversity in the use of assessment. Part        II introduces readers to six ways that consultants can assess athletes:        mental health screening, personality tests, sport-specific objective        measures, interviewing, observation, and applied psychophysiology.        Chapters in this section explain the strengths and weaknesses of each        approach—for example, when traditional pencil-and-paper and observation        approaches may be more appropriate than interviewing—and offer        consultants a more complete toolbox of assessments to use when working        with athletes. Part III addresses special issues, such as career        transition, talent identification, and sport injury and rehabilitation.        One chapter is devoted to the hot-button issue of sport-related        concussions.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Tables at the end of most chapters in parts II and III contain        invaluable information about each of the assessment tools described,        including its purpose, publication details, and how to obtain it.        Chapters also contain sidebars that provide sample scenarios,        recommended approaches, and exercises to use with clients.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAssessment in Applied Sport Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e works toward two main        goals. The first is to help consultants gain a complete understanding of        their clients through the use of a broad range of assessment tools. The        second is to show consultants how to ethically and effectively use        assessments to develop a comprehensive understanding of their clients,        thus enabling them to assist their clients in achieving their        competitive and personal goals.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jim Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55972633248122,"sku":"9781492586111","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0308\/2292\/4420\/files\/9781492586111.jpg?v=1780382589","url":"https:\/\/human-kinetics-2020.myshopify.com\/products\/assessment-in-applied-sport-psychology-2","provider":"Human Kinetics Europe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
