Q The use of structured and semi-structured psychological assessments have been demonstrated to assist in clearer and more focused treatment interventions. However, such assessments may also be misused, misinterpreted, or lead to “labeling” or other unintended consequences. Compare and contrast current research on the use of psychological assessments in trauma (as included in the texts, professional briefs on the American Counseling Association website, or in reputable journals accessible through sites such as GoogleScholar), the ACA Code of Ethics, and your personal perspective, regarding the efficacy of psychological assessments to working with trauma survivors. Post a clear and succinct 300-500 word response that demonstrates integration of, and critical thinking regarding, the information presented.

I think that there might be the requirement of applying different methods included in the standardized ACA Code of Ethics. This is because every client might be different in acquiring treatment-knowledge and psychological motivation. There can be requirement of repeating different types of treatment methods at times. However, there might also be the requirement of not repeating but introducing more than one method of treatment to ensure that one method is kept as a backup/contingency treatment plan.
