Establishing and supporting a theoretical view in favor of assessment and evaluation as an adjunct to psychotherapy is clearly a difficult task in view of current anti-testing biases. But translating that viewpoint into practical terms within the environment of an emerging university can prove to be every bit as difficult. The current paper treats the rationale and techniques used to plan and implement a conceptual framework for human assessment in a systematic and effective manner at Sangamon State University. The approach used is innovative in that it cuts across programmatic boundaries to meet student needs while satisfying administrative requirements for cost efficiency. (Author)
