A clinical interview is a dialogue between a psychologist and patient that is designed to help the psychologist diagnose and plan treatment for the patient. It allows the psychologist to understand the patient's expectations and obtain information about their past and current family events. There are different types of clinical interviews, including intake interviews which occur during the first session to understand what brings the patient in and their history, and mental status exams which examine a patient's behaviors, appearance, and answers to questions to assess their mental health. Clinical interviews provide advantages such as detailed personal information and the ability to clarify responses, but can also be time-consuming and have inconsistencies between interviewers.
A short note about the concept of the psychological test; introduction, definition, characteristics, needs, classification, types, and some selected psychological tests.
The historical development of Abnormal Psychology or Psychopathology is worth studying. The progressive as well as conservative steps have contributed to a balanced view of abnormal behavior.
Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale is an individually administered test that examines the cognitive ability of children and adults falling the age-range of 2 to 85+ years. It examines children with intellectual and developmental deficiencies as well as intellectually gifted individuals. This test originated from The Binet-Simon Scale (1905) and had undergone five major revisions. This presentation gives an overview of all five of them with most emphasis on the fifth edition by Roid (2003).

Assignment -2
Sociological application
Overview
One of the most important things we can do in this course is distinguish between the sociological viewpoint toward health and illness and strictly clinical or medical viewpoints toward health and illness. For example, it is crucial that we understand how sociology incorporates issues of race, class, gender, language, and so forth into the analysis of health and illness outcomes in society. The purpose of this assignment is for us to examine the definition of the sociological viewpoint toward health and illness and utilize major concepts from our reading material to support this response.
Instructions
Construct a 4-6-page paper that fully explores each of these three areas:
1. Identify and describe a current and major health issue that is a leading cause of mortality in the U.S. or overseas.
2. Explain the medical viewpoint of this health issue.
3. Explain the sociological viewpoint of this health issue. Be sure to include and apply at least 3 social concepts and one social theory learned from the course.
Include at least two peer-reviewed journal articles no more than five years old (none that are provided in class) to support your explanation of how both the sociological viewpoint applies to this health issue.
Compare and contrast the two viewpoints (medical and social) with respect to this health issue and discuss how each viewpoint has an impact on mortality. It is a good idea to include not only mortality rates but also sources to validate your arguments.
The paper should be typed, double-spaced, 1” margins, times new roman 12 pt font, and saved as .doc. The paper should be in APA format (cover page, running header, major heading, subheadings to identify each section, in-text citations, and reference list),

The Top seven Characteristics a Psychologist Should Havesneharathod39
The psychologist’s work can be stressful, and overwhelming, and it’s not always as successful as it would be. Being in contact with people who often have trouble managing their emotions or experiencing serious conflicts, these professional needs special preparation and not only regarding the techniques of diagnosis and treatment but also in managing emotions, frustrations, and impulses.
Before moving through diagnostic decision making, a social worke.docxtaitcandie
Before moving through diagnostic decision making, a social worker needs to conduct an interview that builds on a biopsychosocial assessment. New parts are added that clarify the timing, nature, and sequence of symptoms in the diagnostic interview. The Mental Status Exam (MSE) is a part of that process.
The MSE is designed to systematically help diagnosticians recognize patterns or syndromes of a person’s cognitive functioning. It includes very particular, direct observations about affect and other signs of which the client might not be directly aware.
When the diagnostic interview is complete, the diagnostician has far more detail about the fluctuations and history of symptoms the patient self-reports, along with the direct observations of the MSE. This combination greatly improves the chances of accurate diagnosis. Conducting the MSE and other special diagnostic elements in a structured but client-sensitive manner supports that goal. In this Assignment, you take on the role of a social worker conducting an MSE.
To prepare:
Watch the video describing an MSE. Then watch the Sommers-Flanagan (2014) “Mental Status Exam” video clip. Make sure to take notes on the nine domains of the interview.
Review the Morrison (2014) reading on the elements of a diagnostic interview.
Review the 9 Areas to evaluate for a Mental Status Exam and example diagnostic summary write-up provided in this Week’s resources.
Review the case example of a diagnostic summary write-up provided in this Week’s resources.
Write up a Diagnostic Summary including the Mental Status Exam for Carl based upon his interview with Dr. Sommers-Flanagan.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Clinical Interview
Imagine that you are a psychologist and
Samantha comes to see you. Just looking at
her, you can't tell what's wrong with her or
why she has come to your office. What do you
do? You probably answered, 'I talk to her, of
course!' Talking to Maria is a good first step in
figuring out what's wrong and how to treat her.

4. Clinical Interview
A clinical interview is a dialogue between
psychologist and patient that is designed to help
the psychologist diagnose and plan treatment for
the patient. It is often called 'a conversation with
a purpose.'
It is a tool that helps physicians, psychologists
and researchers make an accurate diagnosis of a
variety of mental illnesses, such as obsessive-
compulsive disorder (OCD).
5. The focus of an interview depends on the
interviewer’s theoretical orientation. Interviews
can be either unstructured or structured:
In unstructured interviews, clinicians ask open-
ended questions.
In structured interviews, clinicians ask
prepared questions, often from a published
interview schedule.
6. Strength and Purposes of the Clinical
Interview
To communicate and clarify the assessment
process.
Understand the Client’s Expectations.
Obtain the information about the past and current
events in the family.
Document the context, severity and the chronicity
of the problematic behaviors.
Use flexible procedure to ask questions.
Resolve ambiguous responses.
7. Types of Clinical Interviews
There are many types of clinical interviews that can be
used at different times and with different people.
The two most common types are:-
a) Intake interview: It happens the first time someone
comes to see you. This is the interview where you, as
the psychologist, ask what brings them to you, what
their mental and physical health history is and what
they would like to get out of their time with you.
8. b) Mental status exam: It is a clinical interview that
looks at more than just the answers to your
questions. You can look at a patient's behaviors,
appearance, attitude and movements, as well as their
answers to your questions. All of these things will
give you a good view of what their mental health is
like.
Of course, a mental status exam can be used on any
patient, including those who seem lucid, like
Samantha, but it is often used on patients who are
not able to talk clearly about their problems.
9. Advantages of Clinical Interviews
The main advantages of interviews are:
They are useful to obtain detailed information
about personal feelings, perceptions and opinions.
They allow more detailed questions to be asked.
They usually achieve a high response rate.
Respondents' own words are recorded.
Ambiguities can be clarified and incomplete
answers followed up.
10. Disadvantages of Clinical Interviews
They can be very time-consuming: setting up,
interviewing, transcribing, analyzing,
feedback, reporting
Different interviewers may understand and
transcribe interviews in different ways.
They can be costly.
