Clinical psychological examination helps to better understand the child's psychological state - their emotions, behavior, way of thinking and functioning in relationships. The examination is also important for the so-called differential diagnosis - i.e. for distinguishing between various psychological disorders that may appear similar on the outside. It serves as an important basis for designing appropriate care or treatment.

The examination is based on an interview with the child and parent (a so-called clinical interview), which is supplemented by various psychodiagnostic methods - for example, questionnaires or standardized psychological tests. The examination is carried out by a clinical psychologist or a health psychologist under the professional supervision of a clinical psychologist.

 

The aim is to provide a comprehensive view of the child's psychological functioning.

 

For example, we evaluate:

• emotional state (anxiety, mood),

• way of thinking and concentration,

• behavior and self-control,

• ability to establish and maintain social relationships

 

 

In our facility, we perform clinical-psychological examinations of children:

 

• assessment of the child's overall psychological state and developmental level

• neuropsychological examinations (e.g. after injuries, epilepsy)

• neurodevelopmental examinations

• autism spectrum disorders, ADHD and other developmental differences

• clinical-psychological assessment of children and adolescents who are dealing with gender identity issues and considering gender reassignment

 

What to bring to the examination
Please bring with you all available documents that can help with a more accurate assessment:

• reports from previous psychological, psychiatric and neurological examinations

• information about previous psychotherapeutic care (if the child has attended therapy),

• discharge reports from hospitalizations (if any)

• any school documentation (teacher statements, school psychologist reports, etc.).

Payment for examination
Psychological examinations in our clinic are covered by health insurance.
