Collaborative Therapeutic Assessment (C/TA): A Didactic for Clinical Psychology Graduate Students
Nicholson, Lily Bigalke
ProQuest LLC, Psy.D. Dissertation, Alliant International University
Psychological assessment has been a cornerstone of clinical psychology since the establishment of the field. The duties involved in the practice of psychological assessment are integral to the identity of the clinical psychologist and have been the subject of decades of empirical research and clinical consequence. While the historical importance of psychological assessment is notable, issues surrounding the current significance of assessment in the field continue to be debated and assessment seems less emphasized in clinical practice and graduate training than in the past. Furthermore, as the landscape of modern society grows increasingly multiculturally diverse, there is a growing consensus among psychologists that teaching and training practices in psychological assessment need to be reimagined to ensure that culturally responsive models such as C/TA become predominant as the standard of practice for the entire profession. In the current study, it was hypothesized that Collaborative Therapeutic Assessment (C/TA) should be integrated into graduate psychological assessment curricula in doctoral clinical psychology programs because it is the model of assessment that provides the highest standard of care in psychology. The objective of this dissertation was to develop a didactic presentation on C/TA that can be utilized as a training resource for graduate students in clinical programs. A panel of licensed psychologists with expertise in C/TA evaluated the clinical and potential educational utility of the training didactic by completing a feedback survey. Analysis of the data from the Thurstone scale, multiple choice, and open-ended qualitative responses indicated that the evaluators agree that the overall intent of the didactic was achieved, confirming it as a potentially effective tool for introducing psychology graduate students to the concept of C/TA.
