PSYC20031 Advanced Psychological Assessment

Course details

The aim of this course is to provide basic theoretical, empirical, and practice knowledge necessary to acquire the skills required to conduct a psychological assessment. The role of the interview within a functional assessment and process-based (relationship; emotion focused) framework will be a main emphasis. Lectures and readings are aimed at conveying this basic process that occurs within all psychological contacts and regardless of therapeutic orientation. The general expectations of this component are the ability to demonstrate theoretical, empirical, and practice-focused knowledge of assessment frameworks and techniques. A focus in lecture on process and functional models is complemented by the texts’ focus on relationship development, frameworks and techniques. The student should expect to gain an increased understanding of basic frameworks and specific assessment procedures involved in psychological assessment (and therapy) contexts.
