AN ORGANIZED FORMAT FOR
DEVELOPMENTAL & FAMILY HISTORIES

A good evaluation requires lots of information from parents, usually more information than you have time to obtain. But if you fail to consider all essential facts about a child's psychological functioning, you may reach wrong conclusions and expose yourself or your agency to costly lawsuits.

That is why, for the past thirteen years, your colleagues throughout the country have turned to the WPQ-2 to improve the quality of their evaluations and document their work. It is a particularly valuable addition to social studies, custody evaluations, consultations, and mediation because it provides a cost-effective means of eliciting comprehensive data with no extra investment of your time.

In one attractive booklet (which parents complete on their own) the WPQ-2 elicits:

• A complete, organized developmental history
• Symptom checklists keyed to DSM-IV with diagnostic code number in shaded margin
• Parents' knowledge of their children's problems and personality strengths
• Comparison of relative involvement of mother and father in direct contact with child
• Family history of psychological problems
• Ratings of child's self-esteem and peer relations
• Stressful and traumatic life events history (Axis IV)
• Data on family constellation, including stepparents and stepsiblings
• School adjustment, child's temperament, medical history
