BOOK REVIEW Moving Beyond the Binary in Psychological Assessment: Consideration of Gender and Sexuality Handbook of Gender and Sexuality in Psychological Assessment. Edited by Virginia M. Brabender and Joni L. Mihura, New York, Routledge, 2016. 704 pp. $114.95 (paperback). ISBN 978–1138782051 Rachel L. Micol 1 & Joanne L. Davis 1 # Springer Science+Business Media New York 2017 Psychological assessment has critical implications for diagno- sis, case conceptualization, treatment planning, and treatment selection. Indeed, because practitioners use assessments to make myriad decisions, it is of paramount importance that assessment selection, administration, and interpretation are as free from bias as possible. Awareness of the consequences of gender and sexuality bias in psychological assessment has increased in recent decades, but until now, there was no re- source for understanding these biases or strategies to eliminate them. The Handbook of Gender and Sexuality in Psychological Assessment fills this gap. In this book, the au- thors intricately weave the fundamental concepts of gender, sexuality, and assessment into a single text and provide a detailed review of the ways in which issues of gender and sexuality (and additional intersecting identities), both on the part of the client and the assessor, may affect multiple stages of the psychological assessment process. Throughout the book, the chapter authors effectively merge theory and re- search with practical information to guide clinical practice. The chapters in this book share the observation that, although individuals do not often seek assistance on issues explicitly related to their gender and/or sexual orientation, assessors would obtain more accurate and comprehensive understand- ing of their clients if they systematically considered these identity factors in their assessments. The book offers strategies for assessors to use to do just that. The book is divided into six major parts. The first part, BIntroductory Chapters,^ written by the editors, includes two introductory chapters in which the authors define fundamental concepts, present an overview of key assessment pitfalls that can arise throughout the assessment process (pp. 22–26), and offer concrete suggestions for avoiding these pitfalls. Although there is significant redundancy across the chapters in restating these basic concepts and definitions, given the length of the book (over 700 pages), it is unlikely to be read in its entirety. For those who seek particular chapters for spe- cific purposes, this redundancy will be useful. Chapter 1, by Virginia M. Brabender and Joni L. Mihura, provides an overview of literature on gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, and bias, as well as their intersection with assessment. A notable strength of this chapter is the attention the authors give to the assessor’ s various identities and how they may affect the assessment process. Readers are urged to consider their own identity and biases and to examine the ways in which the dynamic interplay of client’ s and assessor’ s various identities may affect the assessment processes. In this chapter, the authors also review the minority stress framework (Meyer 2003) and explain how individuals from sexual and gender minorities may have unique stressors and experiences related to their identity that need to be considered throughout the assessment process. The second chapter focuses on the concept of intersectionality and highlights the utility of the BADDRESSING^ framework (e.g., age, development or acquired disabilities, religion) to consider the ways in which multiple identities may intersect with gender and/ or sexuality to affect the assessor’ s understanding of the individual. Although space restrictions preclude more than an introduction to many of these additional identities, readers are encouraged to use the intersectionality frame- work to achieve more comprehensive understandings of the clients with whom they work.
