Want to get a better picture of your clients beyond test scores? Learn how interviews, observations, rating scales, and other informal assessment tools can work together—and how to choose the right ones for your assessment needs. You’ll also practice building a psychological assessment battery, helping you create a more organized, ethically-sound, well-rounded assessment plan you can apply in real-world settings.

Interviews and behavioral observations are two foundational skills that help psychologists gather meaningful assessment information. This workshop will help you further develop both skills—from building rapport and asking effective questions to observing client behavior and documenting your observations in a psychological screening report.

The Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) by Leslie Morey, PhD, is a useful tool for psychopathology screening, clinical diagnosis, and treatment planning. Learn to understand the person behind the test scores. Join our 4-hour workshop to explore test interpretation, practice writing psychological report profiles, and learn how to administer and score PAI results to better understand clients. Gain practical skills through discussions, hands-on activities, and peer feedback.

When a crisis unfolds, will you know what to do? Develop your skill set and leave with a practical toolkit to enhance client safety when doing assessment. Learn to identify mental health and suicide risks, use practical screening tools, and ensure the client's welfare in each step of the assessment procedure. This workshop equips participants with evidence-informed skills to conduct risk assessments and create collaborative Safety Plans for clients at risk. 

What makes us who we are? Explore the Five-Factor Model of Personality and discover how the NEO-PI-3 helps us understand the unique traits that shape how people think, feel, and behave.

Learn how to administer, score, analyze, and interpret results from the NEO-PI-3, and explore how this tool can be used and complemented with other psychological assessments in clinical, educational, and industrial settings.
