“…This will be most successfully achieved when the clinician can demonstrate that conducting assessments for treatment-planning purposes significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy and/or reduces the cost or length of treatment. These suggestions are consistent with recent recommendations from APA (Meyer et al, 1998) and other researchers in the field (Groth-Marnat, 1999;Stout, 1997). It is thus encouraging that the majority of respondents in this sample reported incorporating formal assessment measures in the evaluation of treatment outcome for their clients at some level.…”

Which psychological testing measures are clinical child and adolescent psychologists most commonly using? How has managed care influenced the practice of assessment for these professionals? This study provides survey data from 162 child practitioners employed in independent practice and in hospital, outpatient, and school-based settings throughout the United States. The results demonstrate marked consistency with recent surveys of clinicians working with adults, and a list of the 30 most frequently utilized measures is provided. Over 40% of the sample reported significant limitations in psychological testing due to managed-care policies. Strategies for maintaining an assessment practice are discussed.MARY LOUISE CASHEL received her PhD in clinical psychology in 1997 from the University of North Texas. She is an assistant professor of clinical child psychology at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. Her research interests focus on child and adolescent assessment and treatment interventions for delinquent youth.

Purpose University student smartphone users adopt flexed neck postures during smartphone use, creating an increased compressive load on their neck structures. This study was conducted to compare the effects of proprioceptive and craniocervical flexor training with a control group on static balance in a group of university student smartphone users with balance impairment. Methods A double-blinded, randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 42 university students (19.67±1.68 years old) with balance impairment. Participants were randomized into a proprioceptive training (ProT) group (n=14), a craniocervical flexor training (CCFT) group (n=14), and a control group (CG; n=14) for a 6-week intervention. The balance error scoring system (BESS), cervical joint position sense (CJPS), craniocervical flexion (CCF) test, and visual analog scale (VAS) for neck pain were evaluated using univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results After 6 weeks of intervention, the ProT group showed significantly greater improvement of CJPS than the CG (p=0.000) and the CCFT group significantly improved of CCF test than CG (p=0.002). Findings, at 4 weeks after intervention, were (i) the ProT group had significantly more improvement in BESS than the CCFT group (p=0.014) and CG (p=0.003), (ii) the ProT group had significantly more improvement of CJPS than the CG (right and left rotate) (p=0.001, p=0.016, respectively) and CCFT group (right rotate) (p=0.004), (iii) the CCFT group had significantly more improvement of craniocervical flexor strength than CG (p=0.004), and (iv) the ProT group and CCFT group had significantly more decreased pain than CG (p=0.015, p=0.033, respectively). No adverse effects occurred during or after training in any group. Conclusion ProT is important for regaining static balance and CJPS, while CCFT improved craniocervical flexor strength. Moreover, both ProT and CCFT can reduce neck pain. We recommend performing ProT to improve static balance, CJPS and to reduce neck pain in smartphone users with static balance impairment.

“…Moreover, unlike many clinical activities, personality assessment is a uniquely psychological endeavor. As Groth-Marnat (1999) pointed out, there are at least 35 different categories of mental health professionals who treat mental disorders, but only psychologists are trained and qualified to conduct personality assessments.…”

Psychoanalysis represents a valuable unifying framework for 21st century personality assessment, with the potential to enhance both research and clinical practice. After reviewing recent trends in psychological testing I discuss how psychoanalytic principles can be used to conceptualize and integrate personality assessment data. Research from three domains-the role of projection in shaping Rorschach responses, contrasting patterns of gender differences in selfreport and free-response dependency measures, and the use of process dissociation procedures to illuminate test score convergences and divergencesillustrates how psychoanalytic concepts may be combined with ideas and findings from other areas of psychology to offer unique insights regarding assessment-based personality dynamics.
