Instructors names and degrees: Jessica Lipkind, Psy.D. & Jacob A. Palm, Ph.D.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHIES OF PRESENTERS:
Jessica Lipkind, Psy.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in treatment and psychological assessment of children and adolescents. She maintains a private practice where she conducts evaluations using the Collaborative Assessment model with children, adolescents, and families. She conducts regular RPAS trainings and provides case consultations. She is a member of the R-PAS Research and Development Group. Dr. Lipkind has presented nationally and internationally on the assessment of children, trauma, and attachment.
Jacob A. Palm, Ph.D., serves as the founder and director of the Southern California Center for Collaborative Assessment. He is the United States representative of the Istituto Italiano Wartegg in Rome, Italy, where he works closely with Dr. Alessandro Crisi on clinical applications, research, and training of the Wartegg Drawing Completion Test. Dr. Palm is on staff at Miller Children’s Hospital at Long Beach Memorial and provides assessment consultation to various programs throughout the southern California area, including the Centers for Professional Recovery. He provides integrated assessments as a member of the Teen Brain Team at Hoag-Presbyterian Hospital, Neurosciences Institute (Newport Beach). Dr. Palm completed his doctorate at Fordham University, in the Bronx, New York. He has previously served as the Director of APA Internship Training and Director of Psychological Assessment for The Guidance Center, a community mental health center, in Long Beach, California.
PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION:
This presentation will examine the incremental validity and unique contributions of the Rorschach Performance Assessment System (R-PAS) and the Wartegg Drawing Completion Test (WDCT) in the case of a child’s assessment. Through the use of a case example, each test will be reviewed for its individual interpretive contributions. The presenters will model integrating findings from the R-PAS and the WDCT and highlight where there is overlap between the measures to reinforce significant findings. Discussion of incremental validity, benefits of incorporating both measures in a multi-method assessment, and unique contributions of performance-based tests to assessment batteries will be discussed.
LEARNING GOALS and OBJECTIVES:
By the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
10:15-10:20: Benefits of Multi-Method Assessment
10:20-10:25: Benefits of Performance-Based Assessment Measures
10:25-10:55: Review of R-PAS administration and results
10:55—11:25: Review of Wartegg results
11:25-11:45: Discussion of incremental validity between the two measures and integration of findings
11:45-12:00: Questions and Discussion

LEARNING GOALS and OBJECTIVES:
By the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
- Discuss potential contributions of the Crisi Wartegg System and Rorschach-Performance Assessment System to clinical assessment.
- Describe similarities (including convergent validity) between data obtained from the CWS and R-PAS.
- Discuss potential areas of incremental validity and additional information obtained from the CWS and R-PAS.
- List benefits of using multi-test assessment (i.e., R-PAS plus CWS) in clinical assessment.
