Online Assessment Measures
Directions: You have been provided some additional information about Maria in the introduction to this module. In assessing Maria’s current state and needs you have decided to use some testing. Using the American Psychiatric Association – Online Assessment Measures website, choose two of the assessments listed there.
Then, explain how you will use each in the assessment process with Maria. Justify your selection of each assessment by describing why it is relevant to Maria’s case and how it will help you arrive at a diagnosis for Maria. Explain the distinction between the formal and functional diagnosis of Maria. Your paper should be 800 – 1200 words in length and should be supported by three sources (including the text).
This paper must:
- have a thesis statement (statement of purpose/intent), must indicate the topics to be covered
- use ONLY professional, objective language. Use objective, formal, not conversational tone/style
- use APA style
- use direct quotes sparingly – work on paraphrasing and appropriate citations for the paraphrased information
