Définition

  • Introduction Psychological assessment serves several functions: classification, explanation, prediction, and decision aid. Classification means the assignment of the single case to be assessed to an element or category of a classification system, as shown by, for example, the DSM or the ICD. Prediction aims at an answer to the question of what will happen in the future, if the single case concerned is treated in specific ways.
