Week 2: Assessment and Diagnosis in Psychotherapy
Discussion: Assessment Tools
Assessment tools have two primary purposes: 1) to measure
illness and diagnose clients, and 2) to measure a client’s response to
treatment. Often, you will find that multiple assessment tools are designed to
measure the same condition or response. Not all tools, however, are appropriate
for use in all clinical situations. You must consider the strengths and
weaknesses of each tool to select the appropriate assessment tool for your
client. For this Discussion, as you examine the assessment tool assigned to you
by the Course Instructor, consider its use in psychotherapy.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
Analyze psychometric properties of assessment tools
Evaluate appropriate use of assessment tools in
