Criteria:

Evaluated areas include:

Client Intake - Initial client assessment involves collecting key details such as demographics, health history, past treatments, etc. It forms the basis for understanding the client's needs and guiding future evaluations.
Observation - Observation requires the clinician to keenly and objectively assess the client's activities, demeanor, and communication during the evaluation process, helping to pinpoint underlying patterns, symptoms, strengths, and issues not overtly reported by the client.
Behavioral Assessment - Behavioral assessment entails the systematic study and analysis of a client's behavior to identify possible psychological problems by observing aspects like mood changes, social behaviors, self-care, and task adherence instructions.
Cognitive Assessment - Cognitive assessment evaluates the client's cognition including attention, memory, problem-solving, language, and intellectual abilities using standardized tests to identify strengths and deficits.
Emotional Stability - Assessing emotional stability involves evaluating a client's ability to manage stress, regulate emotions, adapt to adversity, and maintain emotional balance.
Psychological Functioning- The psychological functioning assessment broadly examines a client's mental health and well-being, self-esteem, coping capacity, relationships, and adjustment. Clinicians use it to study symptoms, personality traits, and psychosocial functionality for a better client understanding of psychological health.
Overall Impression - This criterion is about the clinician's comprehensive analysis of the client, utilizing different assessment procedures to identify patterns, strengths, and concerns, and to form a general understanding of the client's psychological condition and requirements.
Recommended Treatment Plan -The suggested treatment plan includes a customized, scientifically-supported strategy for the client's unique needs, with potential elements like therapy modes, medication, lifestyle changes, patient education, and possibly referrals. The plan should be transparent, achievable, and cooperative, with the client participating in decision-making and objectives design.
