    • QUOTE: ... For a mental health professional to be able to effectively help treat a client and know that the treatment selected worked (or is working), he/she first must engage in the clinical assessment of the client, or collecting information and drawing conclusions through the use of observation, psychological tests, neurological tests, and interviews to determine the person’s problem and the presenting symptoms. This collection of information involves learning about the client’s skills, abilities, personality characteristics, cognitive and emotional functioning, the social context in terms of environmental stressors that are faced, and cultural factors particular to them such as their language or ethnicity. ...

      ... The assessment process involves three critical concepts – reliability, validity, and standardization. ...

      • Reliability refers to consistency in measurement and can take the form of interrater and test-retest reliability.
      • Validity is when we ensure the test measures what it says it measures and takes the forms of concurrent or descriptive, face, and predictive validity.
      • Standardization is all the clearly laid out rules, norms, and/or procedures to ensure the experience each participant has is the same.
