KLINIS WAWANCARA Child clinical interviewing requires a diverse set of skills because the contexts of a child's life are complex and are set along a developmental trajectory (McConaughy, 2005). Younger children are heavily influenced by parents, and as the child develops, influence increasingly comes from peers. Given these interrelated forces and the frequency of comorbidity of internalizing disorders, one of the first goals of the interview is to clarify the referral questions. After the referral questions are clear and some initial hypotheses have been gener-ated, the school neuropsychologist could employ a structured, semistructured, or unstructured interview approach (Semrud-Clikeman, Fine, & Butcher, 2007). Structured interviews typically require proprietary training to administer, and include the Diagnostic Interview for Children and Adolescents (DISC-TV; Reich, Welner, & Herjanic, (1997) and the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-age Children (K-BADS; Ambrosini, 2000; Puig-Antich & Chambers, 1978). Semistructured interviews tend to generate a list of questions that provide a sequence to the interview, but give the interviewer the flexibility to explore responses as needed. Sattler (1998) provides a compendium of semistructured interviews as well as instruction on clinical interviewing. Unstructured interviews with children may include an informal discussion, the use of games to encourage the child to talk about his or her thoughts and feelings, or art-related activities such as drawing or playing with clay in which the child is encouraged to talk about what the artwork creation represents to him or her. When working with children, interviewers should include the child's guardians or teachers. It is important to get a family history of internalizing disorders as well as treatment histories (Semrud-Clikeman et al. 2007). It may be helpful to draw a genogram with the guardian to establish a familial pattern of internalizing disorders (McGoldrick, Gerson, & Petry, 2008). BEHAVIORAL OBSERVATION Behavioral observation is an integral assessment process for use with children and adolescents (Merrell, 2003; Sattler, 1998). Behavioral observation occurs in the child's environment and is based on the notion of situational specificity, that is, the assumption that the target behaviors are caused by variables in the immedi-ate setting (Shapiro, 1988). By observing the interaction between the child's behavior and the antecedents and consequences in the setting, one can make inferences about the causes of the behavior. School neuropsychologists have an advantage over clinic-based neuropsychologists in that they can conduct obser-vations of referred children in situ, i.e., the school building. This is of course a challenge for both types of practitioners when it comes to home-schooled children. Miller and Leffard (2007) provide comprehensive coverage of informal behavioral observation as well as published direct observation systems. Two popular published observation systems include the Behavior Assessment System for Children, 2nd Edition, Student Observation System (BASC-2 SOS; Reynolds & Kamphaus, 2004) and the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment Direct Observation Form (ASEBA DOF; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001). Finally, there has been an emergence of computer-based observation systems that may simplify the collection of behavioral data (Miller & Leffard, 2007). BEHAVIORAL RATING SCALES
Broad-Band Rating Scales Behavior rating scales are very popular assessment procedures in school settings because they allow for indirect behavioral data to be collected from multiple informants in a rapid, cost-efficient manner. Most popular behavior rating systems employ the multi-informant approach because each rater provides incremental validity to the assessment results (Merrell, 2003). Multi-informant scales typically include child self-report, parent report, and teacher report forms. Broad-band rating scales, meaning that they assess multiple behavioral constructs at the same time, are useful for providing hypotheses about comorbid problems and patterns of behavioral strengths and weaknesses. Popular broad-band rating scale systems are the Behavior Assessment System for Children, 2nd Edition (BASC-2; Reynolds & Kamphaus, 2004) and the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001)
Narrow-Band Rating Scales Numerous narrow-band rating scales, meaning they only assess one or a few related constructs, are available for the assess-ment of depression and anxiety. Popular narrow-band measures of depression include the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI; Kovacs, 1992) and the Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale — II (RADS-II; Reynolds, 2005). Measures of anxiety demonstrating very good psychometric properties include the Multi-dimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC; March, 1997) and the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED; Muris, Merckelback, Schmidt, & Mayer, 1999).
