Psychological Assessment II

Catalog description

The purpose of this course, which is a continuation of Psychology 625, is to provide participants with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to conduct an individual, comprehensive psychological assessment in a mental health setting. Participants will learn about test selection, as well as approaches to working with a multi-method test battery. Tests covered will include cognitive (e.g., WAIS-IV), self-report personality tests (e.g., MMPI- 2), and projective (or performance-based) personality tests (e.g., TAT; Rorschach). While participants will learn test administration and scoring, a major goal of the course will be on interpretation and integration of findings in the context of writing a comprehensive report for use in diverse clinical settings. The course will consist of weekly class meetings in a composite lecture- seminar format, and weekly lab meetings. Three hours lecture; one hour laboratory. Prerequisite: Psychology 625 Must be a student in the Doctoral Psychology program
