What Is a Psychology Assessment?

A psychology assessment is a structured clinical evaluation. It examines how a person has been affected psychologically following an event. Our experts assess the full scope of the individual’s condition and produce a report that meets legal standards.

The assessment applies the legal test for causation. It distinguishes between pre-existing vulnerabilities and conditions directly linked to the index event.

Reports Address:

• Clinical Diagnosis: Identifying specific psychological conditions under ICD-11 or DSM-5.
• Causal Nexus: Establishing the link between the index event and the current condition.
• Functional Impact:  Assessing how symptoms affect employment, relationships, and daily life.
• Pre-Existing Vulnerability:  Identifying prior history relevant to the case.
• Treatment Prognosis:  Recommending evidence-based interventions and recovery timelines.

Our experts are experienced in civil litigation. Their reports are written to withstand cross-examination and provide the court with a clear, reliable opinion.

Key Assessment Components

Clinical Interview: A structured psychiatric evaluation covering the history of symptoms, the index event, and its ongoing impact on the individual’s life.

Psychometric Testing: Use of validated tools to objectively measure depression, anxiety, and trauma levels.

Medical Record Review: A thorough review of GP and hospital records to track the trajectory of symptoms and previous treatments.

Consistency Analysis Comparison of subjective reports with objective findings and observable behaviour to confirm clinical consistency.

Biopsychosocial Formulation: Integration of biological, psychological, and social factors to explain the individual’s current presentation.

Future Care Planning: Identification of rehabilitation needs, including therapy, medication, or specialist referrals.
