Personality Theory and Assessment with Lab

Catalog description

This course is the second in the two-course assessment sequence. The course is designed to provide foundational knowledge in major theories of personality and provide a theoretical and practical introduction to the most used personality assessment measures (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - 2 - RF, Rorschach Inkblot Method, Personality Assessment Inventory). Building upon the first assessment course, students will practice writing integrated assessment reports with potential mood or other psychopathology combined with cognitive/intellectual findings that are further complemented by more subtle interpretations of personality traits and styles. Integrated report writing will also emphasize basic functioning and experience of the individual person, and incorporate realistic recommendations based on the referral question and setting within which assessment occurs. Prerequisite(s): PSH 6431 .
