Document Summary
Evaluate treatment outcome- ex. administer a test in the first and last sessions, evaluate if treatment was effective. Behavioral observation- what"s happening in the session, i. e. trouble making eye contact- what things make patient uncomfortable/anxious during session. Structured clinical interview for dsm disorders (scid) to see if ppl meet criteria for certain disorders- check off yes or no- used in research studies. Another example of a structured assessment is the beck depression inventory (bdi)- it"s a structured questionnaire- self-report. In everyday clinical settings, we often use semi-structured interviews+some questionnaires. Observing self/self monitoring- ex. getting someone to take note of each time they reach to pull their hair- tie it to a more concrete trigger (driving->hair-pulling) Ecological momentary assessment (ema)- get alert on phone to tell you to write something down- write down how you"re feeling in that moment. Projective testing: patients respond to ambiguous test stimuli- used by psychologists.
