Psychological Evaluation Report

An out-of-body experience is explained by few as a sense of being detached from one’s body, and if associated with other factors like a sense that the world is not real, far away, or even foggy.

There are various assessment tools obtainable for assessing the needs for patients or clients. The addiction professional uses assessment instruments as one component of the counseling/treatment process taking into account the client’s personal and cultural background. The assessment process promotes the well-being of individual clients or groups (NAADAC, 2015). This process helps determine how much and what kind of treatment your client needs.

As we assess George we will use two different assessment tools to give as an example of how to assesss the needs of this client.

Getting ready to embark on a journey as a white aging counselor who, will be entering retirement, this course was intimidating to me. The reviews of the book I had read were that white people had been shamed, and felt the are to blame for the views they hold.

Bright light may push schizophrenia patients into manic episode, for example. As I walked in the hallway, I was surprised to see how comfortable the staff were with their surroundings.
