PSY 807 Clinical Assessment of Children and Adolescents
This course provides an introduction to the theories and techniques of assessing emotional, cognitive, behavioral, personality, and social functioning in youth. Through readings, lectures, class discussions, and demonstrations, the course will focus on hypothesis development and testing, selection of assessment tools, and techniques used by psychologists to evaluate the functioning of a child and adolescent in multiple domains. The course will review the application of data for aiding case conceptualization, diagnosis, and identification of interventions. The course by itself is not intended to qualify students to administer and interpret the described measures as part of service delivery; such qualification requires supervised clinical experience with the measures.
