Psychological Testing is done by interns under the supervision of CIP’s Psychological Testing Director. Interns meet twice per month for one hour to receive group testing training and supervision (Mondays 9am-10am). When they have an active testing case, interns meet additionally for individual supervision with the testing director. Community Institute for Psychotherapy offers psychological testing at sliding scale fees for use as an adjunct therapeutic tool for understanding adult individuals in ongoing psychotherapy with CIP Intern-Therapists or with therapists in the community. We maintain that thoughtfully conceived, culturally sensitive, skillfully administered and carefully interpreted psychological testing provides clients and their therapists with a valid and valuable means to learn about aspects of themselves, their thinking, feeling, perception, level of psychological development, adaptation and potentials that may not be understood through psychotherapy alone. Some of the issues for which clients and therapists have found psychological testing to provide highly useful insights include intellectual capacities, personality structure and function including dynamic and diagnostic formulations, patterns of interpersonal relationships, coping styles and defensive operations, reality testing, risk factors, and suggestions for ways in which the psychotherapeutic relationship might be approached most effectively. Therapists who request testing at CIP are encouraged to develop specific questions which they wish the testing to address. The tester, a doctoral intern under experienced, licensed supervision, approaches the testing project with the goal of answering these questions, if possible, and thus meaningfully tailors the process to meet the therapist’s and client’s specific requests for information or guidance. Referrals accepted: Adults only, in therapy at CIP or with outside referring therapists; no forensic issues involved (i.e., Worker’s Compensation, child custody, civil or criminal litigation). Fees: Hourly fee based on CIP fee schedule; testing will be billed at 12-15 hours per battery including initial interview (1-2 hours), testing (4-6 hours), scoring (2 hours), writing report (3 hours), and feedback interview (1 hour). The fee is due in three parts: one third at the initial interview, one third when testing is completed, and the balance at the feedback interview.
