INTEGRATIVE ASSESSMENT OF ADULT PERSONALITY
- Share to:
The clinician’s skills in integrating sources of information, contemplating the meanings of discrepant cues, formulating opinions, and persuading others to listen constitute the focus of this book. This process involves four steps: (1) identifying the problem, (2) selecting measurement instruments, (3) integrating sources of information about the problem, and (4) deriving and reporting conclusions, opinions, and recommendations.
In this volume, we are concerned with problems that relate to personality. Thus the four steps revolve around issues related to enduring aspects of a person’s behavior and applying corrective experiences to those behaviors that are problematic. That is, this book is designed to help clinicians assess a patient’s or client’s personality in a way that makes a difference in how he or she is subsequently treated in a clinic, hospital, other mental health agency, or even in everyday contact.
Personality is a social construct that refers to behaviors that are socially relevant, enduring, and that are assumed to reflect certain motivational properties.
