Description of a Portfolio[edit | edit source]
The portfolios are toolkits pulling together high-quality information and resources for evidence-based assessment. The goal is to make the material easy for clinicians to find and use. Each covers the following topics:
- Benchmark rates in different settings,
- Diagnostic criteria and considerations (ICD-11 diagnostic criteria),
- Assessment resources, emphasizing the best free options when possible
- Diagnostic interviews,
- Progress measures, and
- Outcome measures.
The materials also include administration information, psychometric data, scoring information, and links to the measures themselves. They are grouped as:
- Screening tools and assessments that can be done ahead of the first appointment
- Diagnostic interviews and deeper, focused assessments, often done during the assessment session
- Progress and Outcome measures, designed to measure change over the course of treatment
Instructions for Editing a Portfolio[edit | edit source]
