Everyone is invited to attend the following.
Dr. Simms received his Ph.D. in 2002 at the University of Iowa, where he worked with Dr. Lee Anna Clark. After completing his clinical internship in 2001-2 at the Wisconsin Psychiatric Institute and Clinics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, he was a Postdoctoral Research Scholar and Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Iowa in 2002-3. He is currently an Assistant Professor at SUNY, Buffalo. His research interests are in psychological assessment, dimensional models of personality and psychopathology, and computerized adaptive testing and item response theory.
Abstract:
Assessment of personality disorder traditionally has focused on the categorical-medical model specified by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). However, the personality disorders described by the DSM have suffered from a number of important limitations, such as poor reliability, substantial comorbidity across personality disorders, heterogeneity within each disorder, and limited construct validity. A number of dimensional systems have been proposed to address these concerns. The Schedule for Nonadaptive and Adaptive Personality (SNAP) provides one such system. The development and features of the SNAP will be reviewed and several case examples will be presented to demonstrate the clinical utility of a dimensional system.
