Learning Objectives
The Course aims to provide the student with the basic theoretical, methodological and psychometric tools necessary for the use of the testological and psychodiagnostic screening/assessment of skills and personalities in a life-span perspective.
Program
The complexity of the individual, the evaluative articulation in the life-span and the diagnostic process in clinical contexts are the basis for assessment. The various steps that make up this diagnostic process include the application of techniques such as clinical interview and test administration, in particular personality tests (objective and projective) and intelligence scales.
The different and detailed ways of screening and assessment will be described. In particular, we'll focus on the application of methods and tecniques about anamnesis, interviewing and testing. We will then examine the psychologist / patient interaction through the synergistic use of two personality reading models (nosographic and nomotetic) related to the evaluating contexts.
The course will provide informations on basic theoretical assumptions and will give way to the exemplification of clinical and adult/childhood cases. The course will be complemented by seminar activities aimed at focusing (even in application) on some of the issues addressed.

Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
In Psychodiagnosis Methods and Techniques the student has to possess:
- knowledge and understanding: mastery of basic knowledge and understanding the fundamental concepts, methods and techniques of psychodiagnosis
- applying knowledge and understanding: able to use knowledge and concepts to reason critically according to the logic of discipline in the focused contexts, including in terms of the potentiality and limit of the tools proposed.
- communication skills: acquire communication skills using specific disciplinary language by clearly communicating the meaning of concepts and knowledge learned.
- learning skills: developing the ability to read scientific material of clinical-dynamic area. They will have to be able to use the acquired material and apply it properly to the learned clinical contexts.
Teaching Material
The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it
Supporting Activities
Integrative supplementary seminars for theoretical-practical focuses on the applicative contexts of the tools/methods in current scientifics.
Additional teaching pdf/ppt and teacher specific communications can be found, together with other learning support activities, within the Moodle platform> blended.uniurb.it
Teaching, Attendance, Course Books and Assessment
- Teaching
Lectures (integrated with seminars with experts) that will examine theoretical, exemplary and application aspects, promoting an active and critical participation of students.

- Assessment
Written evaluation with oral integration.
Written exam aims at evaluating acquired knowledge, ability of mastering concepts in the use of specific language and reasoning/integrative diagnostic abilities. It consists of open questions (up to 5) about the whole program to be answered in (max) 60 minutes. Oral integrative examination becomes optional if the writtenpart overcomes a minimum of 21/30 vote.
The evaluation criteria will be consistent with the learning skills and expected outcomes described above.
The final evaluation will be expressed in thirty/30
- Disabilità e DSA
Le studentesse e gli studenti che hanno registrato la certificazione di disabilità o la certificazione di DSA presso l'Ufficio Inclusione e diritto allo studio, possono chiedere di utilizzare le mappe concettuali (per parole chiave) durante la prova di esame.
A tal fine, è necessario inviare le mappe, due settimane prima dell’appello di esame, alla o al docente del corso, che ne verificherà la coerenza con le indicazioni delle linee guida di ateneo e potrà chiederne la modifica.
