Case Study and Assessments from MMY
How do clinicians find and select an appropriate assessment to administer to a client? One source of information is the Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY). As you review the descriptions of the cases in "Practice Making a Diagnosis," from Neukrug and Fawcett, consider issues that may be relevant and that you would like to assess. Review the list of possible issues in the handout and select two that you would like to explore further through the MMY.
To Prepare:
1) Review the descriptions of cases in Exercise 3.3: "Practice Making a Diagnosis."
2) Select one of the cases and consider assessments you would use to explore with this client.
3) Search the Walden Library for the Mental Measurements Yearbook as follows:
a. In the Walden Library, select Databases A-Z on the home page.
b. Select M from the alphabetic menu.
c. Select Mental Measurements Yearbook with Tests in Print from the options.
From the Learning Resources cases, identify two assessments in the MMY that you think would best provide information for you to consider exploring with this client.
Post your assessment selections and reasons why you selected these assessments. What would be the pros and cons of using each? Which would you select for this client?
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
