Dr. Monica Durham, a psychologist from LifeStance Health's Dallas office joins us to discuss the nuances of psychological testing. Dr. Durham shares her unique journey from a business career to psychology, emphasizing her passion for psychological and neuropsychological assessments. We cover the purposes and types of psychological tests, such as IQ and ADHD assessments, personality tests, and cognitive evaluations following brain injuries. Dr. Durham explains the differences between general psychological testing and neuropsychological testing, identifying when each is most appropriate. She highlights how psychological testing can aid in diagnostic clarity and treatment planning, ultimately offering the best possible care for various mental health conditions.  

"Well, I'm 'just Karin'. And I'm the best Karin I can be". Throughout my professional life I've specialized in high sensitivity, giftedness, parenting, energy management, and healing. I am an energy healer with a vast background in psychology, education, parenting and life purpose work. You say High Sensitivity or Giftedness and I say, "What do you want to know?!" You feel stuck in trauma and overwhelm and you are ready to finally heal and break the cycle, because you know your soul is aching to be seen and I say: "I SEE you, I SEE you...Welcome...Let's do this!" I am passionate about EVERYTHING that has helped me heal and become more productive and healthy. That means I am an autodidact when it comes to healthy eating, essential oils, supplements, body work, yoga, taichi, habits, organization, manifestation, crystals and whatever else I have come acrossed! That means creating a non-judgement compassionate loving space for your healing to take place, at your own pace, in your own time.... As a psychologist, life coach and healer I have been deeply blessed with helping over 700 families over the past 20 years. During my years in private practice I became an expert in psychological testing of children in which I not only use scientifically based testing tools but also all my experience and intuition. Many children have been saved from crippling misdiagnoses because I dare to use my 'sixth sense'. But, my ability to truly connect with children and their parents is what truly made me very good at what I did there. And that is when The Vibrant Sensitive Movement was born!

Have you ever been to a psychologist? It can be intimidating if you don't know what to expect from it, or don't know what it entails for you

You're being tested. You don't know the criteria used to determine your score—or even your results. The test is being administered not by a human teacher or moderator, but by machines. And it's going on 24 hours a day, every day of your life. Harvard Griffin GSAS historian Juhee Kang traces the emergence of the obsession with mass-data collection in the early 20th century.

Are you curious about psychological assessment and testing? Today's guest Dr. Lyu explains the assessment process in detail and highlights its significance in providing clarity and understanding of various disorders. From diagnosing ADHD in children and adults to conducting IQ tests for both age groups, psychological assessment plays a crucial role in identifying strengths, weaknesses, and potential interventions.We also discuss the importance of ruling out sleep disorders before considering a diagnosis of ADHD.

Drs. Jane Howard and Gina Green join me today in a podcast that could've spanned several hours. In the time we had, we did manage to cover quite a bit of territory, including the following: What Gina has been up to since retiring from the Association for Professional Behavior Analysts (spoiler alert: she's not hanging out at the beach reading mystery novels). We talk about Jane's career in behavior analysis, including how she got into the field, some of her many, many accomplishments (including being recently honored as a Fellow of the Association for Behavior Analysis International), and what she is working on these days. The basics of research design, including why some experimental questions lend themselves to certain designs over others. In this segment, we also cover group or between-subjects designs and meta analyses, which are relevant to understand when looking at the ABA outcome literature.  The distinction of criterion vs. norm referenced assessments. We discussed a number of initiatives and resources in the general realm of ABA treatment, including the current state of licensure, The ABA Coding Coalition, The Autism Commission on Quality, & CASP. We talked at length about critical thinking, healthy skepticism, and epistemology in Behavior Analysis.  In addition to these topics, we probably spent the most time talking about the empirical support for ABA interventions for individuals with Autism. In doing so, we discussed the large research projects that Jane and Gina led, what to make of some of the criticisms of this literature that is starting to gain some notoriety, and what research questions we still need answers to.  Jane and Gina mentioned numerous studies and resources, and I've done my best to catalog them below: Session 21 (my first interview with Gina in 2017).

Have you ever needed to develop a survey for your learners, patients, or colleagues? This week we talk with Jason Immekus, PhD, MS, who is Chair and Professor of the Department of Educational Leadership, Evaluation, and Organizational Development at the University of Louisville College of Education and Human Development. We discuss survey development, which involves establishing the reliability and validity of instruments to help ensure that survey results are meaningful and actionable. Jason describes the (often unrealized) complexity of survey development and suggests some best practices that faculty can use to improve their instruments. After listening to this episode, Jason's “One Thing” call to action is for listeners to consider tools being used in their departments and reflect on whether there is alignment between the purpose of the tool and how the data are used. Learn more about the scale-development resources that Jason mentions, including: The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing from the American Psychological Association, resources from The Council on Measurement in Education, and Duke's Initiative on Survey Methodology. This primer article by Boateng et al. (2018) also provides a helpful step-by-step overview of the scale development and validation process for investigators.  Do you have comments or questions about Faculty Feed?

My Guest today is Todd Ehrlich, former Navy Seal, Founder of Kill Cliff Recovery Drinks, Venture Capitalist and Philanthropist. Todd shares how fortitude and resilience helped him get through SEAL training while other elite athletes failed, and how these same traits helped Todd thrive as an entrepreneur. Todd continues to invest in early stage companies and provides needed resources and perspective to founders that he learned throughout his journey. “[SEAL Training] is really meant to weed out  people that don't have the ability to embrace the fortitude needed to make it.” – Todd EhrlichHighlights: 02:54 – Intro, The Navy SEALs05:10 – Fortitude vs Physical Speciman08:39 – Does Military success translate to Business Success?11:50 – Uncertainty in SEALs and business14:57 Transition from Navy to Business17:05 Starting Kill Cliff22:41 The purpose behind Kill Cliff25:01 Culture is the most import thing28:09 Trust30:00 Psychological Testing for new partners and employees34:20 Failure vs Sub-Optimal results40:40 – The Start Up Culture43:24 - What does it mean to be a man?----------- Quotes from Episode“Going through SEAL training made me a much better person all the way around.”“Just because someone is a really great military person, does not mean they are going to be a great entrepreneur.”“If you are surprised that you are still wet and sandy, it means you shouldn't be here.”“I think that some people will realize that there is a path forward in business - you just have to find it.”“Starting [Kill Cliff] was just an exercise in straight up TENACITY”“Anytime you can weave a real, authentic purpose into building a business the better it is.”“When everything sucks, having a purpose is very motivating.”“If [employees] aren't clicking with the culture of the organization, they're probably not happy, and if they're not happy, it's time for them to go somewhere else.”“It's very pragmatic, at the end of the day, whereas before I was trying to not be all things to all people,  I was really trying to make everybody happy.”“Trust is so critical. It's kind of everything. You're lost in business without it.”“If you can identify suboptimal results early and what's causing them, or if you're on the wrong path, it prevents TOTAL failure”“One thing that people often screw up is they don't realize the length of time it's going to take to sell somebody something.”“I think there's this big tendency of start-up CEO's to do urgent things instead of important things.”------- Follow Ryan Shekell and the PodcastSubscribe on Apple PodcastsSubscribe on SpotifyFollow on FacebookFollow on InstagramWatch Full Episodes and Clips on YouTube------ Guest Todd EhrlichWebsiteInstagramLinkedIn

This week’s episode discusses one element of the mental health experience, standardized psychological testing in the clinical assessment.   When an individual begins mental health treatment, any competent clinician regardless of discipline will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the client at the outset. This assessment generally includes a detailed interview of the client, and perhaps other interested parties such as parents and teachers. It will include what is said in the interviews, as well as data that the clinician observes. Observational data can include, for example, whether the client makes eye-contact, their affect, or emotional expression, if they seem agitated or depressed, or whether they are cleanly and appropriately dressed. There might be informal questionnaires, school or medical records and perhaps a referral for a medical examination. These assessments are essential to understand what is troubling a client, what might be an appropriate mental health diagnosis and how treatment should be structured to be most useful.  According to the American Psychological Association, or APA, standardized psychological testing is related to but separate from the clinical assessment. It may be administered as part of clinical assessment, particularly when there is some question about appropriate diagnosis. Psychological testing may also be used to test the suitability for a job, or to predict future academic abilities.   Today Tricia speaks with Dr. Dawn Vo-Jutabha, Chief Clinical Officer of The Guidance Center. Dawn earned her doctorate in clinical psychology with an emphasis in children and families from Clark University in 2005. Since then, she has dedicated herself to working with underserved children and families in community mental health. In addition to her role at The Guidance Center, Dawn has also held multiple leadership positions in her field. These include the Co-Chair of the Southern California Association of Psychology Training Programs, committee member of the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Programs and a membership on the American Psychological Association Commission on Accreditation.   In My Backyard is brought to you by The Guidance Center, a children's mental health agency in Long Beach, CA.

In This Episode:Mike and Ed discuss the latest “scientist gone bad” - this time, an engineer working at Stark Enterprises. If even mid-tier scientists have this tendency to go bad, how are we going to identify them before they do something that cannot be stopped by people like Iron Man?

Website - http://www.resnikpsychology.com/ Email - drresnik@resnikpsychology.com Dr. Rebecca Resnik, the founder of Rebecca Resnik and Associates, is a former special education teacher. She applies this unique experience, as well as her personal experience as a mom when working with her clients. Rebecca Resnik and Associates has 14 clinicians on staff and offers psychological testing, psychotherapy & educational consulting in Maryland. During our conversation, we discuss what psychological testing is - what does it mean to get a child tested. Rebecca provides an overview of autism testing, psychoeducational testing, neuropsychological testing, and IQ testing - what they are and what they are useful for. She makes it very clear a diagnosis is NOT a label; rather diagnoses are a critical step in ensuring your child receives the services and benefits they need and deserve. Rebecca explains the differences between getting testing in a hospital, like Kennedy Krieger or Yale, as opposed to the psychological assessments done by school psychologists or private offices, like hers. Generally, school psychologists will not provide a "diagnosis". Instead, their tests result in an "eligibility code". These are important. However, if you are applying for State and/or Federal benefits you will want to get at least (1) private test completed. Rebecca recommends talking to professionals, like education attorneys or special education advocates, when looking for a private testing facility. You want to ask someone who reviews a LOT of test reports because they will have a fair idea of the quality of the psychologist producing them.

What are we born to do? Should we do what is expected of us or forge our own path in life? Today's special guest, psychologist and psychoanalyst J. Herman Kleiger explores these questions and more in his debut historical novel, The 11th Inkblot. The 11th Inkblot is a “well-written and lovingly embroidered novel...” that is “a spellbindingly measured narrative that entertains and enthralls.” (Kirkus Reviews). It is a novel that explores a mind torn between art and science, the horrors of war and the invention of the Rorschach Test.  The 11th Inkblot invites the reader to become a passenger on a moving interpretive journey of loss, madness, acceptance, and redemption. In this historical fiction, with hints of magical realism, Kleiger treats us to a psychologically-textured coming of age mystery, enmeshed with unexplained family alienation, childhood grief, trauma of war, and a search for connections. The main character's journey takes him to Zurich where he comes under the spell of Swiss Psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach, the man who pioneered the Inkblot test. It is here that art and science meet, where Anton's mother's fortune-telling intersects with the beginnings of a new type psychiatry: The Inkblot (or Rorschach) Test. J. Herman Kleiger was born and raised in Colorado. He graduated from Harvard and the University of Denver, before serving as a psychologist in the Navy.  A clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst, his major works include Disordered Thinking and The Rorschach, 1999; Assessing Psychosis, with Ali Khadivi, 2015; and Rorschach Assessment of Psychotic Phenomena, 2017. The 11th Inkblot is Jim's first novel.

We at Nootralize value ethical research highly. This is why we intend to apply the ethical principles of psychological testing laid out by the American Psychological Association in the “Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing” and “Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct”, and the World Medical Association guidelines outlining principles for ethical medical research involving human participants. While the Nootralize app largely follows these standards, the nature of the application makes for variability in the relevance of some of the ethical guidelines. If you want to understand how we approach ethical nootropic research on healthy human subjects, this podcast episode is for you.
