Clinical Psychology Short Description (video)
Clinical Psychology Short Description
Clinical psychology is an integration of science, theory and clinical knowledge for the purpose of understanding, preventing, and relieving psychologically based distress/dysfunction and to promote subjective well-being and personal development. In many countries, clinical psychology is a regulated "mental health profession" and clinical psychology was focused on psychological assessment, with little attention given to treatment. For complete description about "Clinical Psychology" visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_psychology
Clinical psychologists considered experts in providing psychotherapy, and generally train within four primary theoretical orientations psychodynamic, humanistic, behavior therapy or cognitive behavioral, and systems/family therapy.
Clinical Psychology Assessment
There exist many literally of various assessment tools, although only a few have been shown to have both high validity (test actually measures what it claims to measure) and reliability (consistency). These measures generally fall within one of several categories, including :
Intelligence and Achievement Tests
These tests are designed to measure certain specific kinds of cognitive functioning in comparison to a norming-group. These tests, such as the WISC-IV, attempt to measure such traits as general knowledge, verbal skill, memory, attention span, logical reasoning, and visual/spatial perception. Several tests have been shown to predict accurately certain kinds of performance, especially scholastic.
Personality tests
Tests of personality aim to describe patterns of behavior, thoughts, and feelings. They generally fall within two categories: objective and projective. Objective measures, such as the MMPI, are based on restricted answers such as yes or no, true/false [play psychology test], or a rating scale which allow for computation of scores that can be compared to a normative group. Projective tests, such as the Rorschach inkblot test, allow for open-ended answers, often based on ambiguous stimuli, presumably revealing non-conscious psychological dynamics.
Neuropsychological tests
Neuropsychological tests consist of specifically designed tasks used to measure psychological functions known to be linked to a particular brain structure or pathway. They are typically used to assess impairment after an injury or illness known to affect neurocognitive functioning, or when used in research, to contrast neuropsychological abilities across experimental groups.
Clinical observation
Clinical psychologists are also trained to gather data by observing behavior. The clinical interview is a vital part of assessment, even when using other formalized tools, which can employ either a structured or unstructured format. Such assessment looks at certain areas, such as general appearance and behavior, mood and affect, perception, comprehension, orientation, insight, memory, and content of communication. One psychiatric example of a formal interview is the mental status examination, which is often used in psychiatry as a screening tool for treatment or further testing.
