Unconscious Bias in Assessment

For this course, Dr. Jeremy Sharp sits down with Dr. Linda McGhee to discuss unconscious bias, which includes the implicit assumptions or beliefs about clients that clinicians bring to testing. This program dovetails nicely with Cultural Competence in Assessment, published a couple of months ago, presenting the other side of the coin – examiner beliefs rather than client beliefs.

Here are just a few things covered in this information-packed discussion:

  • Examples of implicit bias in testing
  • Behavior as pathological vs symptomatic
  • How to tailor recommendations for different groups
  • The role of racial trauma in our biases

Interview conducted: November 2020
