SUMMARY:Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI)
DESCRIPTION:Enhance your psychological toolkit with our PAI workshop\, designed for psychologists at any career stage. From foundational interpretation to advanced applications\, gain practical experience and refine your strategies for clinical diagnosis\, treatment planning and screening for psychopathology.\n\nThe Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) is a self-administered\, objective test of personality and psychopathology. It is widely used clinically in Australia and is one of the critical tests that trainee psychologists must be familiar with for the National Psychology Exam. Our dual professional development workshop is designed to address the needs of psychologists with varying levels of experience. \nThe day-long workshop begins with a review of the key features and elements of the PAI suitable for those who have limited exposure or who are looking to refresh their skills. While this is intended to provide you with foundational knowledge and interpretative strategies to elevate your skills in deciphering the complexities of psychopathology\, advanced content will also be presented in relation to the application of the test in the Australian context.  Additionally\, a structural approach to interpreting and reporting the findings of the PAI will be discussed. \nAdvanced or more contemporary content will also be reviewed particularly with respect to the suite of measures that have become available since the release of the PAI Plus. These additional measures which include scales for assessing validity\, suicide and violence risk\, need for hospitalisation\, and the DSM-5 alternate model for personality disorders will be critically evaluated for the roles they may play in PAI interpretation. Some additional measures from the research literature will also be reviewed. \nLearning Outcomes\nFor those attending for foundation or refresher purposes\, this workshop will introduce participants to the PAI and discuss its structure and application with clients. The workshop will cover basic interpretive strategy including determining the validity of a profile\, clinical scale elevations\, and the use of configural interpretations and indices to enhance the role and interpretation of the test. Attendees will acquire a more critical and nuanced understanding of the roles the test plays in their clinical practices. In addition to reviewing the additional measures and approaches that have been recently introduced\, critical evaluation of their incremental validity will assist in determining which would be appropriate for adoption or exclusion. \nAt the end of this workshop participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the structure of the PAI.\nUnderstand how to determine the validity of a PAI profile and its implications for interpretation.\nAddress normal range personality issues such as self-perception\, interpersonal style\, perception of environment\, and treatment motivation.\nInterpret clinical scale elevations.\nEnhance evaluations of response bias\, risk of harm to self and others\, and treatment considerations through the use of indices and statistical algorithms.\nUnderstand the relationship between the PAI and the role it can play in assisting in diagnosis.\nUnderstand and undertake more detailed evaluations of protocol validity including inconsistency\, defensiveness\, and over-reporting.\nApply appropriate additional measures for the assessment of risk of harm to self and others and the assessment of personality disorders using the alternate dimensional model.\nImplement a structural approach to PAI interpretation and reporting and employ a hierarchical approach to personality assessment that places the PAI in its broader clinical context.\nUnderstand the cautions and limitations in using profile analysis with the PAI.\n\nThis workshop will be available in a hybrid format allowing attendees to join both online or face-to-face at 391-393 Tooronga Road\, Hawthorn East VIC 3123.\nEligibility\nThe day-long workshop is suitable for provisional or registered psychologists who have had limited exposure to the PAI or those who are looking to refresh their skills. Also suitable for board approved supervisors looking to increase their knowledge of the PAI for supervisory purposes. \nOur Trainer\nAssoc Prof Graeme Senior \nDr Graeme Senior is an associate lecturer in the Faculty of Psychology\, Counselling and Psychotherapy at The Cairnmillar Institute (CMI) teaching Advanced Assessment for Clinical Psychologists. Dr Senior is a US-trained psychologist who has been working as a clinician\, academic\, and researcher in Australia since 1993. \nMuch of the consultancy and clinical work he has done as an academic and private practitioner is specific to addressing clinical\, forensic\, and neuropsychological issues with psychological test data. He has established Australian normative and medicolegal base-rate data for many tests including the PAI\, MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF and it is this research along with his clinical and supervision experiences that informs the presentations and workshops he conducts. \nImportant Information\nThis workshop is subject to receiving a minimum number of enrolments. In the case we are unable to deliver the workshop\, participants may choose to reschedule to an alternative date or receive a refund.
