Theoretical Rationale
(as if presenting to my colleagues at work)
Up until this point much of our school counselling and related
support work have focused on externalizing disorders characterized
by behavioral excesses or undercontrolled behaviors including
hyperactivity, impulsivity, aggression, and conduct disorders.
The APS is computer scored and items are converted into one or
more of 40 scales using a T-score system – Clinical Disorder (20
scales), Personality Disorders (5 scales), Psychosocial Problem
Content Areas (11 areas), and Response Style Indicators (4 scales)
(Merrell, 2003).
Current Applications
Designed for use with adolescents age 12 to 19 to evaluate
symptoms of psychological disorders, personality disorders, social-
emotional problems, competencies and distress in adolescents
(Hilker & Kelley, 2004; Merrell, 2003; Reynolds, 1998, Weiner et
al., 2003).
