Through a combination of lectures, critical discussion, and hands-on practice, this workshop aims to help participants develop basic skills how to integrate psychological assessment results and put them together in a written report. The workshop highlights the importance of writing a psychological evaluation report that is clear, relevant for different referral questions, and useful to various stakeholders. Given the varying formats of psychological reports, general guidelines that are applicable to most formats will be presented. There will likewise be discussions and critical analysis of the various challenges and issues, including ethical issues, in writing psychological reports and in giving written and oral feedback.
At the end of the workshop, participants are expected to:
- identify and apply the key principles and general guidelines in report-writing;
- critically review, give positive comments, and areas for improvements of sample psychological reports;
- create their own psychological evaluation report format that suits their current assessment practice; and
- write brief reports integrating psychological assessment findings
