Counselling Psychology. Advanced statistical analyses will then be introduced and students

This course aims at introducing students to the principles, features, ethical and cultural
concerns, and therapeutic considerations regarding psychological assessment from a
counselling psychology perspective. Students will be equipped with the fundamental
knowledge and skills in four areas of assessment: clinical intake interview, mental health
screening assessment, suicide/homicide risk assessment, and career assessment. Students
will also begin to develop clinical judgment and integration skills for assessment report writing.

CP 520 Assessment and Evaluation for Counselling Psychology II
1 Term; 3 Credits
CP520, which is the second of a two-course sequence on assessment, offers students
the opportunity of learning to conduct various types of clinical assessment as well as the
clinical interview before the evaluation starts. The interview information will then be incorpo-
rated with the results of a test in writing a report and providing recommendation to clients. The
students will also administer and interpret intelligence tests (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale
– 4th Edition (WAIS-IV),Chinese Version, published by Chinese Science Corporation in
Taiwan; Wechsler Children Intelligence Scale – 5th Edition (WISC-V), Chinese Version,
published by Chinese Science Corporation in Taiwan), and to write reports based on the
outcomes of testing. In addition, Personality Battery (PB) and Differential Aptitude Tests – 5th
Edition (DAT-V) (Chinese Version, published by Chinese Behavioural Science Corporation in
Taiwan) will also be taught in terms of their administration, interpretation and report writing. A
few basic screening tools such as Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety
Inventory (BAI) will also be introduced. This will then prepare students for the subsequent
internship and externship while encountering clients, or while there is a need of reading other
professionals' assessment reports.
