Clinical assessments are helpful in determining
diagnoses, environmental and biological
causes of disorders, treatment prognosis,
and potential treatment-interfering psychological
and environmental conditions. Appropriate
treatment recommendations may be made
based on the results of a clinical assessment.
Assessments are tailored to the particular
concerns or questions provided by the
referral source and usually involve the
administration of various psychological
tests.
Cognitive assessments are used to provide
an evaluation of overall cognitive functioning
and specific cognitive deficits. This
type of evaluation can be helpful in identifying
learning disabilities, or identifying
intellectual strengths and deficits. A
cognitive assessment can be useful in
providing additional information about
patient's psychopathology, memory, coping
skills, emotional control, problem-solving
skills, judgment, and emotional functioning.
