Tao Integrative Medicine offers a range of psychological testing, such as diagnostic testing, personality testing, IQ, attention deficit and learning disability testing, memory testing, and post-traumatic stress, and trauma testing. Other specialized testing assess career issues, personality styles, eating disorders, and substance abuse disorders.
In recent years, our society has seen a sudden inflation of ‘trendy’ diagnoses and medications. Standardized psychological testing helps to ensure the correct diagnosis, which, in turn, helps to ensure the correct treatment.
In an integrative mental health model, psychological testing offers several advantages:
- Testing as an Empirically and Statistically Based Means of Diagnosis
- Testing as a Cost and Time Efficient Method of Identifying Treatment Issues
- Testing as a Means of Self-Assessment
- Testing as an Aid in “Differential Diagnosis”
Psychological Test Confidentiality
Psychological testing is covered by the same laws that protect the confidentiality of medical and mental health records. It can only be released to other professionals outside of the Tao Integrative Medicine with your informed consent.
