One of the most unique and valuable tools a clinical psychologist has to offer is psychological assessment. McDowell will review the major realms of assessment. These include cognitive, neuropsychological, projective personality and objective personality. Specific attention will be paid to clinical applications and actual case vignettes will be used throughout.
