Definition(s)
- Introduction ‘Clinical judgement’ refers generally to the result of a set of cognitive activities that aim to: (a) classify an observed behavioural pattern into a nosological system category (diagnostic judgement); (b) predict the development of an observed behavioural pattern under a given treatment, or under particular environmental conditions (predictive judgement, or prognosis); (c) estimate the degree of severity of a disorder (severity judgement); and (d) make an informed decision about the best treatment (treatment judgement). Many published works describe how diagnostic and prognostic judgements are made. [Source: Encyclopedia of Psychological Assessment; Clinical Judgement]
