-You will need the (attached) General Considerations document to interpret all major Validity scales as well as Clinical scales (≥T-60 or ˂T-40).

Additional Guidance from the Professor:

-Have a DETAILED treatment recommendations in order to recieve FULL CREDIT for this part of the assignment!
-Discuss EVERY Validity Scales! and ALL THE OTHER SCALES (≥T-60 or ˂T-40)."
A few suggestions regarding approaching the interpretative process:
-When completing profile interpretations, make a note of the client's age as well as the test location. "Age" will allow you to estimate when the symptoms began and how long they have been present.
-The test location will influence how you interpret certain scales scores, as noted in the General Considerations (e.g., there are varying score interpretations for clinical vs non-clinical settings).
-You may want to flag the following pages in the Nichols textbook so it's easier to get the scale interpretations:
*Validity Scale interpretations - start on Pg. 48
*Clinical Scale interpretations - start on Pg. 95
*Content Component Scale interpretations - start on Pg. 208
*Supplemental Scale interpretations - start on Pg. 240
-Additonally, I have included serveral files in the file section of this order to not only be used to successfully and correctly complete the order - but to be used as resources throughout working on this order...
