...A psychodiagnostic examination can start in two ways: the client can be referred to the diagnostician or the client can go to the diagnostician himself. Once at the diagnostician, he analyzes the client's request for help as well as the referrer's request. These are not the same type of questions. The client's request for help could be about how to overcome his compulsive behavior, while the referrer's request might be about obsessive-compulsive disorder.Based on these questions, the diagnostician asks three types of questions:Does she have an obsessive-compulsive disorder?What factors have caused this disorder and what factors perpetuate it?Which treatment is right for this patient?A diagnostic scenario is drawn up based on these questions. This contains a preliminary theory about the client's behavior. Subsequently, this theory is tested using five steps:Hypotheses are formulated;A specific research tool is chosen that can help to test the hypotheses;Criteria are established for when the hypotheses are or are not rejected;The instruments are administered, and the results are analyzed;Based on the results, the hypotheses are accepted or rejected.On the basis of this assessment, they will come to a diagnostic conclusion. It is useful to build up the psychodiagnostic process according to De Groot's empirical (scientific) cycle. This empirical cycle consists of observation, induction, deduction, testing and evaluation. Yet this is not standard applied by diagnosticians. There are five types of questions that often arise in psychodiagnostics. With each of these questions it is important to have a certain knowledge of psychology (knowledge base). It is best if the diagnosis answers the five basic questions in sequence and goes through the steps in the diagnostic cycle. These are the five basic questions: ...
Psychodiagnostics consists of three parts:diagnostic theories or frames of reference;the description of the three theories in models from test theory and statistics;tests.There are three types of frames of reference, each of which is based on a different idea of how (problematic) behavior is best understood and explained:Individual differences. Individual differences are considered in this context. This is the best frame of reference for the diagnostician to use.Development. In this context we look at the development over time.Context. According to this framework, behavior can only be understood and explained if the behavior changes or is maintained by causes: stimuli, events, interventions. This is also called the social context. This is also a good frame of reference to use, but here the diagnostician must determine the behavior to be measured. Determining the quality of frames of referenda is done on the basis of four criteria:Have the elements and relationships from the theory been tested and what is the result?Has the theory been written down in such a way that testing is possible?Has theory become a source of inspiration for empirical research?Has research been conducted into practical applications of the theory and what is the result of this research?According to Van der Werff, the trait approach, biopsychology and orthodox social learning theories are the best frames of reference to use in diagnostics. For a diagnostician, especially the trait approach is good to use, it has also yielded many intelligence and personality tests. The biopsychological approach and the social learning theories come from the context approach. Van der Werff believes that parts of psychoanalysis such as ego psychology belong to the middle class. The underperformers are psychoanalytic, humanist and existential psychology. The ideas in these frames of reference often cannot be tested....
