This document summarizes a survey of 926 U.S. counselors about their use of assessments. It finds that clinical mental health counselors most frequently use clinical/behavioral tests, school counselors use career and educational assessments most, and personality tests are used more by other counselors than school counselors. The top 12 most commonly used assessments are listed, including the Beck Depression Inventory, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Strong Interest Inventory, and various intelligence and cognitive ability tests. The survey had some limitations like clinical mental health counselors being overrepresented and how assessments are actually used in sessions remaining unknown.

Fap5 lecture ch03
Clinical assessment involves collecting information to determine how and why a person is behaving abnormally and how they can be helped. Clinicians use clinical interviews, tests, and observations as assessment tools, which must be standardized, reliable, and valid. The DSM-IV-TR is commonly used for diagnosis and describes diagnostic criteria across five axes. Treatment decisions are informed by assessment and diagnosis, with the goal of empirically supported and evidence-based interventions. Research shows that therapy is generally more effective than no treatment, and that specific therapies can effectively treat particular disorders.
Psychodiagnosis
Psychodiagnosis refers to the process of classifying information about an individual's emotional and behavioral state in order to understand their psychological functioning. It aims to develop both a classification or label for any disorders (categorical diagnosis) as well as a deeper understanding of the individual's personality and experiences (characterological diagnosis). The objectives of psychodiagnosis are to describe psychopathology, provide diagnoses, formulate case studies to understand causes, and guide treatment planning.

psychological tests and assessment notes bsc nursing
Psychological tests are used to assess various aspects of human behavior, cognition, and personality. They are developed through standardized procedures to ensure validity and reliability. Tests can be individual or group-based, timed or untimed, and involve paper-and-pencil or performance elements. Tests measure constructs like achievement, aptitude, intelligence, interests, neuropsychological functioning, occupational suitability, and personality. They are useful for clinical diagnosis, assessing treatment effectiveness, and evaluating general characteristics and functioning levels. Nurses play an important role by educating patients about tests, creating rapport, observing behaviors, and using test insights to plan appropriate nursing care.
Psychological tests
Psychological tests are standardized measures used by psychologists to assess behavior objectively and help people make decisions about their lives and understand themselves better. There are various types of psychological tests classified based on construction, administration, tests of knowledge, skills, abilities, and more. Developing psychological tests involves several steps including analyzing situations, selecting test items, developing standardized procedures, administering tests to representative groups, selecting final test items through analysis, and evaluating the final test. Psychological tests have characteristics like standardization, objectivity, test norms, reliability, and validity. They are used by psychologists and nurses to obtain information, assist in diagnosis and assessing severity of disorders, and to measure treatment outcomes.

Poster Discipline
This study examined the relationship between parental discipline methods used in childhood and mental health outcomes in college students. 133 undergraduate students completed questionnaires on demographics, parental discipline received between kindergarten through 5th grade and 6th through 12th grade, current anxiety and depression, and self-efficacy. Results showed that perceiving parental use of physical discipline or emotional/verbal punishment as excessive during early childhood years was associated with greater anxiety, depression, and lower self-efficacy in college. Perceiving emotional/verbal punishments as excessive in later childhood years also related to increased anxiety and depression. Limitations included a predominantly white, female sample and accuracy of self-reported childhood experiences.

Hoarding disorder pres
A description of what hoarding is, what assessments are available, and treatment as well as self-help.
Hakomi Therapy
Hakomi Therapy combines Western psychology, systems theory, and body-centered techniques with Eastern mindfulness and non-violence principles. It studies how beliefs, images, memories and attitudes shape our experiences. The primary goals are to increase mindful communication between mind and body, access "core material," and support transformation. The 3-step method guides clients to notice, immerse in, and study their experiences, facilitating unfolding toward deeper meaning. Character processes develop from interruptions in natural growth and serve to manage experiences, but can be consciously employed once understood.
Valuing in therapy
The document discusses six components of valuing in therapy: acknowledgement, validation, valuing, permission, inclusion, and accountability. It then outlines six steps people may take to valuing an aspect or experience: acknowledging its existence, developing a respectful relationship with it, making room for it, valuing it, embracing it, and incorporating it.
Behaviorism
Operant conditioning is a learning process where behaviors are modified by their consequences. Reinforcing a behavior increases the likelihood it will occur again, while punishment decreases it. There are different types of reinforcers and schedules of reinforcement that impact the strength and rate of behaviors. Continuous reinforcement strengthens new behaviors by rewarding every occurrence, but partial schedules reward intermittently and create more resistant behaviors. Common partial schedules include fixed and variable ratio and interval schedules that determine when a response is rewarded.
General model of cbt
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is based on how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Negative or distorted thoughts about events can lead to unhealthy feelings and behaviors. CBT identifies common cognitive distortions like mind reading, discounting positives, and all-or-nothing thinking that may negatively impact one's mood. By recognizing distorted thinking patterns, challenging negative thoughts, and replacing them with more realistic perspectives, CBT aims to improve emotional well-being and help patients lead more fulfilling lives.
Metaphors in therapy
Therapeutic metaphors can help clients view their situation in new ways and tap into dormant ideas. Metaphors are indirect and less threatening, allowing clients to interpret them through their own lens. They can subtly influence unconscious attitudes. Different types of metaphors include stories, analogies, relationship metaphors, and tasks with symbolic meanings. When constructing a metaphor, a therapist may draw from a client's real life dynamics and relationships to craft a symbolic scenario.
Parent effectiveness training pres
Parent Effectiveness Training (PET) teaches parents how to communicate effectively with their children by avoiding being too permissive and using listening and problem-solving skills. PET utilizes a "behavior window" model where parents own problems to confront issues but let children own problems to facilitate growth. PET instructs parents to use active listening, avoid "you" messages, and not use 12 "roadblocks" like ordering or criticizing that could cause resistance or aggression in children.
Solution focused therapy
This document provides an overview of solution-focused therapy. It discusses the founders of solution-focused therapy, Steven De Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg, and how solution-focused therapy differs from problem-focused approaches by focusing on solutions and the client's goals rather than problems. The document also outlines common techniques used in solution-focused therapy, such as the miracle question, and explains the therapeutic process of solution-focused therapy which involves goal analysis, measuring desired behaviors, and evaluating progress each session.
Article review clinical hypnosis
This document describes the case study of "Zack", a 30-year-old man who developed panic disorder after a drowning incident. He was treated using clinical hypnosis with cognitive-behavioral and spiritual strategies over 5 sessions. The treatment incorporated breathing exercises, cognitive restructuring, graded exposure, and incorporating Zack's Buddhist beliefs. After treatment, Zack's scores on panic and death anxiety scales decreased significantly and his panic attacks reduced in frequency and severity. The discussion notes the treatment primarily achieved first-order change and could have benefitted from more family involvement.
Accounting pres
1) The document introduces accounting concepts such as the cash and accrual methods of recording transactions, balance sheets, and income statements.
2) It uses the example of a lemonade stand business to demonstrate how to record transactions using balance sheets and income statements. Transactions include taking out loans, purchasing supplies, selling lemonade, and paying expenses.
3) Key accounting elements that are covered include assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses, cost of goods sold, and net income. The example shows how these elements are tracked over time and reflected in financial statements.
Choice Theory/Reality Therapy/PTSD
Choice Theory/Reality Therapy is a counseling method developed by William Glasser that focuses on internal control and meeting basic human needs. It teaches clients choice theory and uses the WDEP process - defining wants, examining behavior, evaluating plans, and creating positive plans. The theory promotes problem-solving skills and mutual respect over criticism. It views mental health as fulfilling the five basic needs of survival, love, power, freedom and fun. PTSD involves exposure to trauma and symptoms of intrusive memories, avoidance, mood changes and hyperarousal according to the DSM-V. It can cause problems with memory and emotions that increase suicide risk.
Possibility therapy
A brief description of possibility therapy. Please keep in mind, there is so much more to this counseling theory when used in therapy

FACIAL NERVE
The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.

留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。
