dR demarte said no summary scores for TSI but there are . . . you can handscore with templates or computer score.
there is TSI 2 which supercedes the TSI 1
if Dr. Demarte told us she didn't get TSI 2 because employer didn't get it . .
no there are requirements
A - you have to have the training
B - you have to be current on the research unless a particular reason that show new test isn't good for using for X then X would be a better test.
C - if you are trying to use old tests up - not good - employer should be getting updated test.
Dr. Brierre had started doing presentations @ conferences - and pubisher announced it would be coming out in 2011 . . .
anyone working in trauma speciality should have been aware of what coming out TSI 2
yes
these scales . . .way you focus is in the cut off range 7 of the 10 are in clinical range - pretty significant numbers and validity scales were within normal range - this suggest this person suffereing pretty major trauma.
interpret to scale, then summary scale, prior administration, other summary test . . .
anxious arousal, depression, defensive avoidance - THIS PERSON cognitively did not think about or talk about . . .dissocciation . . .spacing out - block out feelings with it - coping mechanism to survive and move on . . in clinical range
SC is sexual concerns - concerned about attitude, concern about own sexual behaviors, arousal other . . attitude issue
very concerned in way they have acted in some way sexually . . either with multiple partners, or different type acts. . .
pretty major impact on way view self - way they are being affected by trauma or traumas . .
then look @ summary scales . . .now we are looking @ actual possible diagnosis . . . might lead you to suspect PTSD . . . again if this is the only instrument given then you cannot give diagnosis of PTSD . . clinical diagnosis . . major issues identiy, view self,
dysphoria - mood depression, anxiety - it affects mood
if test had administered @ another time . . . TSI was administered 1 year before in spring of 2010. . . . then it was appropriate because new one had not come out.
Dr. Carbs TSI . . . . validity scale normal
objection - lack foundation -where is it
judge may we approach?
