Introduction
This unit aims to provide students with advanced training in the administration and interpretation of clinical assessment instruments. An evidence-based approach to best practice in psychological assessment will be emphasised. Topics will focus on assessing specific diagnostic problems.
In this unit you will learn advanced assessment skills. Practice and ethical issues around assessing different client populations will be examined. How to conduct a competent and ethical risk for violence assessment and your response to such an assessment will also be covered. In each seminar you will be required to engage in and complete activities involving practice and ethical issues as they relate to assessment.
