Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
diagnosis of dysthymic disorder and is taking Effexor. She had one acute care psychiatric placement for threatening suicide. Recently, she entered an intensive outpatient intervention program for youth who are
at risk of residential treatment. The catalyst was her involvement in trashing a neighbors home, an act she denies even with photographic images of her involvement. She also received a
citation for carrying ten passengers in her subcompact car but she argued that she was not speeding. Charlotte was referred by the Department of Corrections Secondary for an evaluation of
social/emotional issues. The WAIS-IV was administered. The examiner notes that it was difficult to establish rapport with Charlotte although it was thought that this would have had a minimal negative
effect on her performance. Interpretation of WAIS IV Results Score Summary WAIS-IV Scale Score Verbal Comprehension 107 Perceptual Reasoning 98 Working Memory 108 Processing Speed 84 Full Scale 100
General Ability 102 Charlottes composite scores ranged from low average to average. Verbal comprehension, 107; perceptual reasoning, 98; working memory, 108; and processing speed, 84. These reflected percentile ranks
of 68, 45, 70, and 14, respectively and demonstrates processing speed deficits. Also, while all others are within average, it is important to note that perceptual reasoning had a percentile
rank of 45, which is below average. The full scale of 100 is the exact mean average for this assessment. All scores have a 95 percent confidence interval. Subtests
Subtests are scaled to a mean of 10 with a standard deviation of 3. A scaled score of 10 is average. A scaled score of 7 would reflect 1 standard
deviation below average and a scaled score of 13 would represent 1 standard deviation above average (Coalson & Raiford, 2008). Confidence intervals are related to the standard error of measurement.
