What needs to be clarified
Separate relevant information about state and circumstances without inferring an event's consequences from record sequence alone.
Materials to prepare
- The questions and the period requiring examination.
- Relevant documents and correspondence preserved in context.
- Results of agreed interviews and methods, if already available.
What to compare
- Compare event dates, record creation and the state described.
- Separate the participant's statements from examination findings.
- Check consideration of other circumstances and information gaps.
Possible outcome of the analysis
An opinion may describe psychologically relevant circumstances, the grounds for conclusions and questions lacking sufficient information.
Limits of the conclusions
Psychological examination is not psychiatric diagnosis, does not prescribe treatment and determines neither legal compensation nor fault.
