Summary Evaluation and Critique V. Multicultural Application General Information The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) is one out of several intelligence test designed by American psychologist David Wechsler. According to Wechsler (1944), “Intelligence is the aggregate or global capacity of the individual to act purposefully, to think rationally and to deal effectively with his environment.” While serving as the chief psychologist at Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital in New York City David Wechsler developed an array of intelligence tests known as the Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale. The original array of test was specifically intended to clinically assess the measurement of adult intelligence. Rejecting the proposition of an ideal mental age in which an individual’s aptitude can be measured he proposed standard intelligence as the mean test score for an entire age group; the mean could then be represented by 100 on a standard scale and a standard deviation of 15. The Wechsler-Bellevue test spread like wildfire.

This essay will outline and evaluate some of the most innovative and prominent areas of development, in the person centred approach since the death of Rogers. It will focus on some of the key figures to contribute to these developments, and how they impacted on the style of Person centred therapy.

It was a move forward from previous therapies such as Freud’s psychoanalysis which placed the therapist in a detached superior form over the client. In person or client centred therapy as it is also known, the client and therapist are viewed as equal and it was Rogers who established that the person should be referred to as ‘client’ instead of ‘patient’ as his previous successors had done.

Psychodynamic theory believes that the root of the personality is “unconscious thoughts, feelings, motives, and conflicts; repressed problems from early childhood” (Morris & Maisto, 2010, p.354). Personal interviews and projective test obtain information to help with psychodynamic theory analysis. Personal interview are structured and unstructured. “In a structured interview, the order in the content of the questions is fixed, and the interviewer does not deviate from the format.
