The Louisiana Psych- ological Association hosted a webinar training event for psychologists in Georgia, titled, “Clinical and Forensic Aspects of a Social Security Psychological Consultative Examination: An Ethical Approach.” The event took place on October 20, 2012.
The presenter was Michael Chafetz, PhD, ABPP, who presented his research and continuing investigation of classification accuracy with social security disability claimants. Dr. Chafetz discussed the roles and boundaries of professional psychologists, different approaches to noncredible behaviors and why one type is more prevalent in disability. He also addressed special problems inherent in the assessment of low- functioning claimants.
Dr. Chafetz presented this track of research as an invited presenter at the American Psychological Association last year.
