This course focuses on assessment using valid personality testing instruments including (but is not limited to): PAI, MMPI-2/MMPI-2-RF/MMPI-A, and MCMI-IV/MACI. Projective testing will include (but is not limited to): Rorschach (using the R-PAS system), House-Tree-Person, TAT/Roberts-2/TEMAS, and Incomplete Sentence Series. Students will learn about reliability and validity of tests based on cultural bias. Assessment, scoring, and interpretation through a cultural lens will be explored. Students will learn to integrate findings from the presenting problem, behavioral observations (including mental status exam), background information, and data from assessments in their report writing to provide a diagnostic impression to inform treatment planning.
