Clincial assessment and decision
making lecture and exam notes
Lecture 1: Clincial assessment 1
Definition
Clinical / psychological assessment and
psychodiagnostics is like solving a puzzle.
Coming up with a hypothesis about
someone’s mental health.

Definition of psychological assesment 

4 basic questions
1. Classification
o Does this person have PTSD?
2. Explanation
o Why does she refuse to eat?
3. Prediction and indication
o Will CBT help this person?
4. Evaluation
o Was the intervention successful?

Knowledge and skills
Required knowledge
 Psychopathology and psychological theory
 Instruments and their psychometric qualities
 Treatment protocols

Required skills
 (Self) reflection
 Building therapeutic alliance (important when giving
therapy)
 Conversational skills
 Test skills

Toolkit for psychological assessment
 Observation (starts already at the intake, also use
observations of others on the patients)
 Interview (structured to let them tell all about their
problems, also others)
 Tests
o Why this test?
o Which test? (what is available?)
o How to interpret the results?
 Consult the cotan base = dutch committee on tests asnd
testings. Review them on criteria:

, o Availability of the test (is it available to everyone or do you have to email certain researcher
who decides?)
o Adapatation/translation for the Netheralnds (is it properly translated, also with cultural
aspects?)
o Standardization: described well or many loose ends?
o Validity (construct = does it measure what it is supposed to measure
& criterion = does it predicit a certain outcome? Intelligence test
predict school outcome for example)
 Construct and criterion validity most important
o Reliability: twice test administered, same results? Items not too
long/short?
o Norms: normative data, for age, gender, school level. (normative=
deriving from a standard of norm)



What is abnormality?
 What is normal and not depends on culture and time. In DSM-II sexual deviations like
homoseksuality. Culture differences frame the classification system of mental disorders.
 For tests more a psychometric approach for abnormality like the normal curve (think of
intelligent scores) also normative decline when getting older in reaction time.

Disorders and personality
 Vulnerability hypothesis = certain personality traits make
one vulnerable for the development of disorders
 Scar hypothesis: a disorder affects ones personality
 Spectrum hypothesis: personality and disorders to be
considered a continuum

Referral and first interview
Who calls for help?
 My child needs help
 My parent(s) need help (when older problems with
functioning)
 I need help
 You need help
 My patient needs help

Can you accept this referral?
 Is it a proper referral?
o needs to be well formulated
o is it a question that can be answered?
o Is it a mental health issue?
o Does it need treatment or care?
o Etc
 Am I the right person to take it up?
o Do I have the right qualifications?
o Do I have the time?
