​This course is for clinical psychology doctoral students in their second year of training. Students gain applied practice in neuropsychological and psycho-diagnostic testing with adults. Typical referrals include questions related to assessment of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Intellectual/Developmental capacities, learning differences or disabilities, memory functioning and other Cognitive Impairment, as well as common psychiatric concerns such as depression and anxiety. Referrals are often New School students from across the university, but referred individuals can also come from the community or from individuals seen for therapy through The Safran Center who are struggling academically, occupationally, and/or socially and who want to gain a better understanding of themselves and their functioning. Students will have the opportunity to complete two to three full battery assessments through the academic year. Supervision will follow students through the process of comprehensive assessment: clarifying referral questions, collecting of background information including collateral contact, test selection, administration, scoring, data analysis and interpretation, report writing, case presentation, providing recommendations and therapeutic feedback. Prerequisite: Diagnostic testing course or prior assessment experience. Assessment and additional supervision meeting times including with teaching assistance are scheduled according to student and client availability during clinic hours.
