Self‐Report Reconsidered: A Further Look at its Advantages as an Assessment Technique

Abstract

Laing (1988) has discussed some of the potential virtues of the use of clients' self‐reports in the assessment process. In this article I respond to some of the issues raised by Laing and attempt to provide counselors with some additional information on the value and the limitations of the use of self‐report in psychological assessment. The empirical literature is used as a basis for making recommendations about when and for whom reliance on self‐report is appropriate and how the accuracy of self‐report data can be maximized.
