An In-Depth Case Interpretation  
 

Greg Meyer 

This 4-hour online workshop by Greg Meyer, Ph.D. focuses on R-PAS interpretation with an illustrative case. The workshop focuses on an adult case that illustrates the clinical application of R-PAS. Upon proof of enrollment in the workshop, participants will be able to request a copy of the R-PAS results for this clinical case in order to familiarize themselves with the case specifics before the workshop. This will not only maximize the time spent in the workshop but allow the participants to be more meaningfully involved in discussing the interpretations for the case. In general, participants will receive training in the principles and procedures for generating interpretive inferences that are most closely aligned with the research literature and the psychological processes that are involved in generating each response. 

Throughout there is time for questions, comments, and discussion with those in attendance. This workshop should be useful for people who teach personality assessment, but it is especially aimed at the needs of practitioners. It should appeal to practitioners and teachers interested in learning how to more fully and accurately understand clients through multimethod clinical assessments that incorporate making careful inferences from valid, performance-based R-PAS scales.
