Teaching Therapeutic Assessment in a Required Graduate Course

Abstract

This chapter deals with teaching Therapeutic Assessment in a Required Graduate Course. As a member of the psychology faculty at the University of Texas at Austin from 1984 to 1992, routinely taught the theory and techniques of Therapeutic Assessment to first-year clinical psychology graduate students in their required course on personality assessment. A modified set of these principles as applied to a required graduate course in personality assessment guided teaching: Exhibit 15-1 represents a flow chart of course in Therapeutic Assessment. The chapter explains principles of Therapeutic Assessment as Applied to the Graduate Course in Personality Assessment. The author describes similarities between a required graduate course in personality assessment and the clinical assessment of clients who are involuntarily referred for psychological testing. The author demonstrates how the same principles underlying clinical Therapeutic Assessment may also be applied to the educational setting.
