How does the diagnostic process proceed? - Chapter 1

How does the diagnostic process proceed? - Chapter 1

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.

What is the diagnostic cycle?

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.

What are the 5 basic questions in clinical psychodiagnostics?

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:

1. Recognition: What are the problems?

The question that can be asked here is: what is the problem, what succeeds and what goes wrong? The recognition phase includes an inventory, description, ordering, categorization and an estimate of the seriousness of the problem behavior. The difference between and a diagnostic formulation should be considered. Classification is about categorizing someone's behavior based on the DSM. A disadvantage of a categoric classification is that it is quite limited and leads to "labeling". An advantage is that it improves the communication between information. A diagnostic formulation, on the other hand, contains more detailed information about a client's behavior and takes more into account the context in which this behavior is in place. The authors of the book advocate a diagnostic formulation.

2. Explanation: Why are there problems?

The question that can be asked is 'why are the problems there?' The statement contains 3 parts:

How do we measure the quality of diagnostics? - Chapter 2

How do we measure the quality of diagnostics? - Chapter 2

Psychodiagnostics consists of three parts:

  1. diagnostic theories or frames of reference;
  2. the description of the three theories in models from test theory and statistics;
  3. 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.

What is the quality of the frames of reference?

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.

How is the quality of the models measured?

There are several models of test theory and statistics that are used to describe the central parts of theories and constructs. There is the classical test theory and the modern test theory (IRT). The IRT is a theory of behaviors (a latent trait such as emotional stability or math skills). This theory describes the probability that when a person has a certain value on a latent trait, a person will say yes to a question whether a task will solve well.

Factor analyzes are used for the first frame of reference. Thurstone came up with the multiple intelligence theory and eventually chose to measure it by independent factors. This was in contrast to Spearman, who used a g factor to measure intelligence. A profile
