I have bought a copy of MEASURES FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE since the first edition. First, note that the editors include “AND RESEARCH” for the 4th edition.
Even as teaching research, I assign students an instrument to study. I have employed MEASURES FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE for this assignment. Using real instruments is a fantastic way to shepherd students into understanding complex concepts such as reliability, validity, factor analysis, alpha coefficient, etc. I use other volumes for this assigment, but students are more apt to select an instrument from Fischer and Corcoran. They do an brilliant job of providing the details. The other options include:

Volume 1 includes 59 instruments for couples, families and children. All are very helpful for teaching and research. Final warning: some of these instruments are copy protected. For this, Fischer and Corcoran include an explicit note identifying which instruments cannot be copied from the book and used without first gaining permission.
