ASEBA instruments

Description

Assessment) instruments, within the Italian context, in collaboration with professor Achenbach and professor Rescorla. ASEBA provides a comprehensive approach to assessing adaptive and maladaptive functioning from early childhood to adulthood. The main aims of our lab are to translate, standardize and validate these instruments, also promoting their diffusion among Italian researchers and clinicians. Further, this unit collaborates with an international team of researchers, lead by Achenbach and Rescorla, that carry out cross-cultural studies focused on the ASEBA instruments by sharing data from different countries. The Medea Institute is the Italian distributor of the ASEBA products.
