Introduction to Psychological Assessment

Catalog description

The two foci of this course are (1) the philosophy and practice of individualized collaborative psychological assessment - gaining access to a person's life world through collaborative exploration of his or her performance across selected tests; and (2) gaining initial familiarity with a range of tests and techniques: PAI, NEO, WAIS, WISC, TAT, drawings, and sentence completion tools. Students both take and administer these materials, conduct assessments with volunteers, complete a clinical assessment in the field, and write assessment reports.
