Advances in Psychological Assessment in South Africa offers a comprehensive and critical exploration of the country's assessment landscape. Building on the success of Psychological Assessment in South Africa: Research and Applications (2013), the new volume contains chapters by leading experts who examine core methodologies, review locally relevant tests, and showcase innovative approaches, including technology-driven and artificial intelligence-based assessments. Spanning cognitive, personality, vocational and neuropsychological domains, the book addresses the practical, cultural, and ethical challenges of assessment in South Africa's diverse contexts. With contributions grounded in the latest research and practice, it is an essential resource for psychologists, researchers, educators, and students, both locally and internationally. The book presents both a reflection on how far the field has come, as well as a forward-looking guide to where it is headed.
