Child Custody Evaluations
Child custody evaluations often include administration, scoring, and interpretation of psychological tests. Custody evaluators who present results and interpretation of psychological test scores often discuss only their interpretation of the scores. For example, a parent is administered the MMPI-2. This test is scored using a computer-scoring program, which provides a series of numbers that are interpreted by the evaluator to suggest that the parent is depressed and highly anxious. Evaluators often fail to provide test scores in the report, making it difficult to determine whether the score is actually at a high level.
A recently reviewed evaluation contained the following: “The mother's scores on Scale 2 and Scale 7 were elevated. This means that the mother is depressed and anxious. It is likely that the level of depression interferes with her daily functioning. It is also likely that the mother's anxiety score suggests that she is always nervous, easily aroused and emotionally reactive.”
