Helping Clients Find Resilience and Normalcy in Troubled Times: A Millon Inventories Perspective Webinar
COVID-19 has had a profound effect on the psychological assessment field, while simultaneously setting the stage for severe mental health consequences. This webinar focuses on how personality assessment, in particular with the Millon instruments but applicable to a broad range of assessments, can go beyond the thoughtful and prudent guidelines recently established for teleassessment to accomplish vital therapeutic goals, possibly more effectively than therapy/teletherapy alone. Dr. Grossman will provide an aspirational collaborative framework for using information from the MCMI-IV and MACI-II to help clients gain a more equitable sense of self in uncertain times, help identify and re-establish a sense of normalcy, and seek to promote resilience and avert mental health crises.
Presenter: Dr. Seth Grossman, Psy.D.
Date: June 17, 2020 Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ET
