Brief Description:

Clinical psychological assessment is a core and distinguishing function of health service psychologists. The goal of this initial continuing education program, the first of six assessment-related programs to be offered this fall, is to provide an overview of current practices and recent literature related to evidence-based clinical psychological assessment. Broadly, psychological assessment should inform clinical decision-making in ways that improve outcomes in the lives of individuals. We will discuss definitional issues, the various goals that may be addressed with psychological assessment, research regarding the clinical utility of assessment, and important sub-processes such as therapeutic feedback.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

1. List the core components of evidence based clinical psychological assessment.
2. Identify the benefits of recommended evidenced based assessment practice.
3. Discuss the utility of evidenced based assessment in clinical settings.
