Evaluación psicológica en la adolescencia con trastorno del espectro autista: caso clínico

Abstract

This research paper provides information on psychological assessment and psychodiagnosis, through the cultural-historical approach, which in turn leads to the development of an appropriate psychopathological assessment for the adolescent patient by means of techniques such as observation and interview, thus achieving a suitable psychodiagnosis, where the different psychological categories such as attitudes, motivations, skills and difficulties encountered throughout life come to the fore. The aim of the essay is to investigate the pathological precedents of the adolescent, by means of interview and observation for a probable psychopathological diagnosis. For the methodology, a bibliographic review was carried out with a descriptive scope based on scientific articles from recent years, where a brief description is given of the psychological evaluation, psychodiagnosis and the disorder suffered by the patient, in addition to specifying the pathological antecedents that have arisen in the patient and thus being able to announce the diagnosis of said disorder.
