Health and Psychology

A colleague of mine asked if I could send her the names of some applications for helping a client track their moods.  I thought it was something a lot of clients or psychologists might be interested in.

For psychologists:

It's always possible to give a client several Beck Depression Inventory or Beck Anxiety Inventory forms and have them email you item numbers and ratings.  That will allow you to track their scores between visits and contact them with specific instructions for intervening if the numbers are going up.  The same would be true with other self-report rating forms.

• Novo Psych Psychometrics for iPad $37.99, allows a clinician to select tests for administration and scoring.
  
• Q-Interactive by Pearson, allows you to leave some bulky manuals at home for things like IQ testing.
• Q-Local by Pearson allows for tests to be administered on a laptop.
• Other major test companies have online and iPad based assessments including Riverside Publishing, Pro-Ed, PAR, and others.
