Problem
A. Most clinicians agree that psychological assessment is also an intervention and that assessment is an ongoing part of psychotherapy. As you read through the questions, how might the MAST be an intervention or treatment for a person being assessed?
B. From your experience with the MAST, how do you think the experience of a person being assessed might differ when self-reporting online versus self-reporting in a live interview with a clinician?
C. The MAST, still used today, dates back to 1971. Given developments in substance use dynamics since this, what is one area of questioning that you would add if you were revising this instrument?
