PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING SERVICES
Psychological testing is intended to answer specific questions, such as:
-
I’ve read about ADHD, and think it describes me. Do I have ADHD?
-
How do I deal with my elderly mother’s increasing memory problems?
-
Why do I have trouble getting along with people at work?
-
My spouse or parent’s behavior
has changed all of a sudden; What’s going on?
-
I hate my job?
What kind of work
should I be doing?
-
What kind of
treatment program is best for my drug abusing daughter?
Where do we start?
You might have been referred for an evaluation by a physician, a therapist,
a teacher, an attorney, or employer, or you may have referred yourself.
The first step is to get perfectly clear as to the purpose of the
evaluation. Who will read the report? What will the results be used for?
Once that is determined, I can select the appropriate tests and measures
to use to answer the questions. The report will be written with both the
purpose of the testing and the intended reader(s) clearly in
-
Answers to referral questions are presented in plain, jargon-free
language. You will come away with a useful, practical report that
clearly explains the findings, and recommends specific ways the
information can be of direct benefit to you.
-
I maintain a large library of psychological tests and select ones that
specifically address the referral questions. I do not use a canned
battery of one-size-fits-all tests. . I use computerized testing, when
appropriate, to save time and reduce costs.
-
I test clients wherever it’s most appropriate and convenient. Clients
can be tested in my office, at home, in the hospital, at the workplace,
even in jail. I prefer to start assessments early in the day, especially
with children.
