Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The clinical approach to judgment and interpretation involves the clinician's own biases and assumptions, often assuming a certain similarity between the patient and himself or herself in interpreting the patient's behaviors. Option A is incorrect because the clinician does not function like an actuary, adjusting the likelihood of various outcomes up and down based on objective factors. Option B is incorrect because the clinician attends to all aspects of the patient's circumstances, not just the most important ones. Option D is incorrect because the clinician is more likely to recall his or her valid predictions than misinterpretations due to confirmation bias.
