“…The BDI-II is one of the most commonly used depression inventories used for clinical screening and outcome research (Muller & Erford, 2012;Peterson et al, 2014). The results of this meta-analysis of 144 studies exploring the psychometric characteristics of the BDI-II English version provide robust estimates of internal consistency for both clinical (α = .91, k = 56, n = 13,447) and nonclinical (α = .88, k = 43, n = 17,966) samples.…”

“…The ease of administration and interpretation add to its utility as an instrument for practitioners wishing to differentiate between anxiety and depression. Furthermore, its low cost and ease of administration and interpretation add value to its use in counselor preparation programs (Neukrug et al, ; C. H. Peterson et al, ).…”

“…Although most appropriate for use with psychiatric outpatients 17 years and older, it has been used in research studies with both clinical and nonclinical samples. Among counselors, the BAI is reported to be the ninth most commonly used instrument (C. H. Peterson, Lomas, Neukrug, & Bonner, ). Similarly, Neukrug, Peterson, Bonner, and Lomas () reported that the BAI was the ninth most commonly taught instrument by counselor educators.…”

This meta‐analysis reviewed 192 scholarly works from 1993 to 2013 using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck & Steer, ). Aggregated internal consistency (coefficient alpha) was .91 (k = 117), and test–retest reliability was .65 (k = 18). Convergent comparisons were robust across 33 different anxiety instruments and the Beck Depression Inventory–II (Beck, Steer, & Brown, ). Structural validity primarily supported the original 2‐factor solution proposed by Beck and Steer (), and diagnostic accuracy varied according to the sample size and criterion cutoff score.

was my professional mentor for more than 35 years, and our periodic phone conversations about the profession, publishers, and people were lively and informative. His ideas initiated many of the topics I have written and presented about. Indeed, inspection of my vita indicates that about 24% of it is on RIASEC theory and its applications. I told Gary Gottfredson (who was John's most frequent collaborator) that I was giving this talk, and he suggested that I should, "Have a good time with it, speak bluntly, and channel John." I need to do that channeling part because the other chapter authors in this section are able to speak in the first person about their theories.Holland visited Florida State University (FSU) twice, once for a career theory symposium in 1968 and 10 years later to examine the tactile board (Figure 1) format of the Self-Directed Search (SDS) we had created for use by persons with visual disabilities (Reardon & Kahnweiler, 1980). Both visits had a big impact on me. This board version of the SDS was a forerunner of later SDS formats (e.g., computer, Internet, Vocational Exploration and Insight Kit, smart phone, and mail-in scoring service).Holland's critique of the woodworker's skills in creating the SDS tactile board version was my first hint at the varied nature of his interests. More evidence of this was revealed later in his SDS results reported by Stephen Weinrach (1996). Holland's scores were R = 26, I = 27, A = 29, S = 26, E = 29, and C = 8 providing a summary code of A/EI. Holland viewed it as AEI/R/S. His high profile elevation and lack of differentiation suggests he was open to a number of occupational options and the eight occupational aspirations provide further evidence of that. His Aspirations Summary Code was SAE with these occupations listed: psychologist/researcher (social psychologist = ASE), writer (AES), research administrator (research worker = IER), vocational counselor (counselor = SAE), college teacher (SEI), counseling
