Details.
Personality assessments for children and adolescents that examine emotional patterns, coping styles, self-concept, identity, interpersonal style, and ways of relating to others. Evaluations may include clinical interviews and history, standardized personality measures, projective or narrative-based tasks when indicated, symptom and behavior ratings, and review of coping strengths and resources. The process includes an initial consultation and record review, youth interviews and testing sessions, input from parents, school, and other providers with permission, scoring and analysis, a feedback session, and a written report with findings and recommendations. Suitable when the clinical picture is complex, diagnoses are unclear or overlapping, prior treatment has produced limited improvement, or guidance is needed about therapy type and treatment intensity.
