Culture, Complexity, Context: Skills and Applications at the Limits of Assessment Practice

Psychological assessors face unique challenges conducting assessments across a range of cultural contexts. Even when standard indicators of reliability and validity for use of a measure with a particular patient are present, it continues to be important to interpret assessments and their results in context. When these standard indicators of psychometric quality are not available, the assessor faces important questions about how to offer an assessment that meaningfully represents the patient’s experience. This applied webinar will support participants to consider tools for conducting assessments at the liminal edges - with patients who are not well represented in the creation and standardization of assessments.
