Community Events & News 

  • Training: Wartegg Level 1 Training:  A virtual training sequence for the Crisi Wartegg System (CWS) will begin in April 2025! The CWS is an empirically validated and standardized methodology (administration, scoring, interpretation) for the clinical use of the Wartegg Drawing Completion Test (WDCT)—an easy, efficient, and non-overwhelming performance-based personality measure that can be completed in 5-10 minutes and is appropriate across the lifespan. The CWS is recognized as a valid performance-based personality test that can be used for certification in Therapeutic Assessment.  The Level 1 workshop focuses on history and statistical foundations, reviews standardized administration procedures, and builds proficiency in the normative scoring system. Following completion of Level 1, clinicians are able to independently administer the test with clients but require consultation for accurate scoring and interpretation.  Levels 2 and 3 of the training sequence are described in the attached flyer.  Online registration can be made at: https://sc-cca-com.3dcartstores.com/.
  • Call for Symposium: ISSPD is currently accepting proposals through February 28th!

  • Training: The MNCCTA Winter 2025 Introduction to Therapeutic Assessment (TA) will occur February 7th, 14th, and 21st. This three-day, 9-hour virtual workshop is designed for professionals and graduate students interested in learning about the adult TA model. Participants will come to understand the core values and concepts of TA and the interpersonal stance that contribute to successful application of the model.  We will walk through the distinct steps of the TA model, and clinical vignettes, including video and test data, will illuminate the application of this approach.  Many takeaways will be provided, so assessors can begin applying these ideas in their practice. More information can be found here: https://www.mnccta.com/training-consultation
