Ashford University Assessment and Diagnosis: Under the Gun I need an experienced tutor to take on the role of a clinical or counseling psychologist and diagnose a hypothetical client. You must compare the assessments typically used by clinical and counseling psychologists, and explain which assessment techniques (e.g., tests, surveys, interviews, client records, observational data) you might use to aid in your diagnosis of your selected client. Describe any additional information you would need to help formulate your diagnosis, and propose specific questions you might ask the client in order to obtain this information from him or her.I have more information about the assignment below for the chosen tutor and all information that you will need in order to complete the assignment. I need this assignment to be at least 300 words or more because the case study has to be written in detail and thoroughly explained.Thank you in advance! Assessment and Diagnosis “Under the Gun”
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, review Standard 9: Assessment (Links to an
external site.) in the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct and
DSM-5.
It is recommended that you read Chapters 1 and 2 The assessment process in the APA
handbook of testing and assessment in psychology, Vol. 2: Testing and assessment in
clinical and counseling psychology (2013) e-book, as well as the Kielbasa, Pomerantz,
Krohn, and Sullivan (2004) “How Does Clients’ Method of Payment Influence Psychologists’
Diagnostic Decisions?” and the Pomerantz and Segrist (2006) “The Influence of Payment
Method on Psychologists’ Diagnostic Decisions Regarding Minimally Impaired Clients”
articles for further information about how payment method influences the assessment and
diagnosis process.
For this discussion, you will assume the role of a clinical or counseling psychologist and
diagnose a hypothetical client. Begin by reviewing the PSY650 Week Two Case Studies
document and select one of the clients to diagnose.
In your initial post, compare the assessments typically used by clinical and counseling
psychologists, and explain which assessment techniques (e.g., tests, surveys, interviews,
client records, observational data) you might use to aid in your diagnosis of your selected
client. Describe any additional information you would need to help formulate your
diagnosis, and propose specific questions you might ask the client in order to obtain this
information from him or her. Identify which theoretical orientation you would use with this
client and explain how this orientation might influence the assessment and/or diagnostic
process. Using the DSM-5 manual, propose a diagnosis for the client in the chosen case
study.
Analyze the case and your agency’s required timeline for diagnosing from an ethical
perspective. Considering the amount of information you currently have for your client,
explain whether or not it is ethical to render a diagnosis within the required timeframe.
Evaluate the case and describe whether or not it is justifiable in this situation to render a
diagnosis in order to obtain a third party payment.
