Description

To look forward, it is necessary to look back and learn.

History is more than just facts about the past; it is a narrative told from a particular perspective.

A proverb from Africa, 'Until lions have their own historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter,' captures this best.

Most of the scholarship about psychological assessment comes from very specific nationalities and cultures, which does not truly reflect the diversity and breadth of histories pertaining to the field.

Covering 50 countries, this collection gives voice to those that have previously been under represented and sometimes marginalized.

This book not only describes important moments in psychological assessment from around the globe, but also equips readers with the tools to map the future of psychological assessment across nations.

It advocates for a more globally inclusive science of assessment that holds promise for enhancing creativity and innovation in the field.
