BABY STEP TO RPsy: ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE BY ATTENDING SEMINARS

I just attended the seminar earlier entitled: COMMUNICATING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT RESULTS, a lecture series by UST Psychotrauma Clinic. Our  Resource Person is Prof. Rosalito de Guzman, PhD, RP, CSCLP. 

The topic outline was divided into four parts:

I. Psychological Assessment

A. Principles in the use of tests as diagnostic tool
B. Criteria for selection
C. Need for battery testing

II. Interpretation

A. Levels of Interpretation
B. Avoiding errors in clinical interpretation

III. Communicating Results

A. Considerations on Psychological Report in Clinical Setting
B. Aids in communication
B.1 Language
B.2 Individualized Report
B.3 Levels of Details

IV. Guidelines in Making Psychological Report

This is a long post so I will create a separate blog post. I hope you enjoy! Please read it if you intend to take the psychometrician board examination or psychologist board examination. This is a nice topic to understand the basic concepts of psychological assessment and its importance.
