Full description:

The course is divided into three sections. The first section introduces to

what an assessment in clinical psychology is and presents the most

frequently used screening measures – that is psychological tools aiming to

get the general idea of patient's or client's problems. During this part of

the course, students will get familiar with SCL-90-R, BDI and STAI

questionnaires and the structured diagnostic interview MINI.

The second part of the course is devoted to assessment of intellectual and

cognitive abilities of a diagnosed person on an example of the Wechsler

Adult Intelligence Scale Fourth Edition (WAIS® IV). Structure,

administering, scoring and interpreting of WAIS-IV will be presented in

detail. Students will practice administering this tool on each other.

Impressions of both roles - the respondent and the administrator - will be

discussed.

The last part of the course will cover the assessment of clinically relevant

personality traits and psychopathology dimensions of a diagnosed person

on an example of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory

Second Edition (MMPI-2). Structure, administering, scoring and

interpreting of MMPI-2 will be presented in detail. During classes,

students will be practicing profile analysis of clinical cases.
