Assessment

5400 - Clinical Assessment I
5410 - Clinical Assessment II
5425 - Diagnostic Interviewing

The two semester assessment sequence provides coursework and practical experience in intellectual, academic achievement, personality assessment, and structured diagnostic interviewing. A grounding is provided in the standardization, administration, scoring, interpretation, and communication of the results of psychological evaluation both in writing and in consultation with referral sources. Under close supervision, students learn to integrate information, write comprehensive psychological reports, and provide feedback to clients.

Direct observation and videotape review facilitates the acquisition of basic assessment skills. Volunteers, Psychology Clinic clients, and community referrals serve as the basis for clinical experiences.

Clinical training begins during the first year with an introduction to the clinic and diagnostic interviewing. In the second year, students provide psychotherapy to clients. They receive individual supervision with clinical faculty. They also attend a weekly 2-hour case presentation with the other clinical students and faculty supervisors. Group supervision provides exposure to different approaches to case formulation and treatment. The third year practicum includes a focus on implementing empirically supported treatments and therapy with a broader range of clients.
