Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Assessment Psychology

Background:

  • Individualized assessment practices are often sporadic and incomplete.
  • There is a growing need for systematic approaches to tailor assessments to specific clients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a systematic approach to individualized assessment.
  • To explore the theoretical underpinnings of collaborative, contextual, and interventional assessment practices.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on individualized assessment.
  • Introduction of phenomenological psychology concepts (intentionality, situatedness, dialectics, structuralism, hermeneutics).
  • Presentation of clinical examples illustrating the proposed approach.

Main Results:

  • A systematic framework for individualized assessment is proposed, termed collaborative, contextual, and interventional.
  • Phenomenological psychology provides a theoretical foundation for these practices.
  • Clinical examples demonstrate the practical application of the approach.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed systematic approach offers a more complete method for tailoring assessments.
  • Phenomenological psychology is a valuable, though not essential, touchpoint for developing theory and practice in individualized assessment.
