There has been a recent review in the Speech and Language Therapist's
Bulletin about Martin Turner's Book 'Psychological Assessment of Dyslexia'.
Whurr 1997, ISBN 1-897635-53-2, cost 27.50 UK pounds. It evaluates the
various methods and tests used in assessment and supports the idea of
cognitive profiles, looks at normal variations and gives advice about
inconsistencies. There is a sample report and information for those
assessing adults, but I believe it is mainly aimed at the younger level
although there are several chapters on general theory covering all ages.
Hope this is helpful.
Best Wishes
