Reviews

Constance Fischer is a distinguished pioneer in the development of person-centered, collaborative, and therapeutic assessment. This collection of her papers provides valuable access to her body of work and bears witness to her exemplary contributions to psychological research and practice. -Irving B. Weiner, professor of psychiatry behavioral neuroscience, University of South Florida; past president, Society of Personality Assessment and Society of Clinical Psychology It's not often that we have the opportunity to follow the work of an innovative thinker and clinician through half a century as we watch the route she took On the way to collaborative psychological assessment. In this wonderful collection, Dr. Fischer takes us on that journey, beginning with a lovely, previously unpublished autobiography, moving through the theoretical infrastructure that supports collaborative assessment, and concluding with extraordinarily useful papers on its practice and teaching. - Philip Erdberg PhD, ABPP, associate clinical professor, University of California-San Francisco This volume of collected papers of Constance Fischer presents the development of the innovative collaborative assessment approach over time. Collaborative/therapeutic assessment began when Dr. Fischer integrated existential and phenomenological theory and personality assessment. This was a paradigm shift in the assessment world and, in these writings, we can follow the evolution of this approach. The book is rich in clinical vignettes that illustrate what collaborative assessment looks like when practiced. And throughout is the humanistic and wise voice of Constance Fischer-a treat to listen to. -Sandra Russ, PhD, distinguished university professor, Louis D. Beaumont University professor of psychology, Case Western Reserve University
