ABSTRACT
Individualizing psychological assessment presents ways to explore and describe a person’s life in process. Going beyond normative data and classifications, it addresses a particular person’s situation as he or she experiences it and simultaneously contributes to it. Hence the client can collaborate throughout the psychological assessment, and may read and comment on the report, which is written in everyday language. That report summarizes ways the client and the assessor have discovered that the client can recognize movement into problematic terrain, and then pivot into an alternative, but still personally viable, course.
