  • Summary

    This introductory chapter provides an overview of the structure and content of The Cambridge Handbook of Clinical Assessment and Diagnosis. Cross-cutting themes from the chapters are considered within the context of elements of a good clinical psychological assessment. More specifically, the various parts of clinical assessment, including referral, sources of information, differential diagnosis, clinical formulation, and report writing, along with considerations for noncredible reporting and cultural considerations, are discussed. For each component of a clinical assessment, reference to more detailed information in specific chapters is provided. This chapter ends with a call for future developments in clinical psychological assessment, with an emphasis on various technological advances to further bring assessment practices into the twenty-first century.
