“…Over the past several decades, numerous commentators on testing and assessment practices in a range of applied psychology domains have called for greater attention to the role that incremental validity data should play in determining psychologists' use of interviews, observations, and psychological tests (e.g., Elliott, O'Donohue, & Nickerson, 1993;Mash & Hunsley, 2004;Meyer & Archer, 2001;Stout & Cook, 1999;Widiger & Schilling, 1980;Wiggins, 1973). Despite this, there has been little systematic effort in most areas of applied psychology to evaluate the incremental validity of measures and assessment procedures.…”

There has been insufficient effort in most areas of applied psychology to evaluate incremental validity. To further this kind of validity research, the authors examined applicable research designs, including those to assess the incremental validity of test instruments, of test-informed clinical inferences, and of newly developed measures. The authors also considered key statistical and measurement issues that can influence incremental validity findings, including the entry order of predictor variables, how to interpret the size of a validity increment, and possible artifactual effects in the criteria selected for incremental validity research. The authors concluded by suggesting steps for building a cumulative research base concerning incremental validity and by describing challenges associated with applying nomothetic research findings to individual clinical cases.

Perspectives on the discipline of psychological assessment are provided through reflections on a classic article by Hunt (1946), review of current issues, and a projection of changes likely to occur over the next fifty years. Topics covered include the place of idiosyncratic qualitative responses, test design, clinical judgment, managed care, financial efficacy, over emphasis on pathology, treatment planning, status of projectives, ecological validity, relationship between theory and tests, innovations in scale construction, and computer-assisted assessment. Future predictions relate to innovations in computer-assisted assessment, practitioner roles in an increasingly automated environment, the future of traditional tests, and human-rights issues.

Changes that have taken place in the delivery of behavioral healthcare during the past several years have led to changes in the way in which third‐party payers and even psychologists think about and/or use psychological assessment in day‐to‐day clinical practice. Some question the value of psychological assessment in the current time‐limited, capitated service delivery arena, while others argue that it is in just such an arena that the benefits of psychological assessment can be most fully realized and contribute significantly to the delivery of cost‐effective treatment for behavioral health disorders. Consequently, psychological assessment could assist the healthcare industry in appropriately controlling or reducing the utilization and cost of healthcare over the long term. The intent of this chapter is to provide an overview of how psychological assessment can facilitate treatment of mental health and substance abuse problems in this new era of healthcare. More specifically, its use as an aid for screening and diagnosing behavioral health disorders and problems, planning and monitoring the course of treatment, assessing the outcomes of treatment, and even as a therapeutic intervention are discussed. Predictions about future trends in the development and use of psychological test instrumentation and related technology are also presented.
