About This Webinar
A comprehensive exploration of AI's role in psychological assessment
AI is changing the way we write reports — but not always for the better. In this webinar, Dr. Chris Barnes and the PsychAssist team walk through a real-time case study on how to think critically about using AI in psychological assessment.
We'll show why polished outputs can still be dangerous, how most tools misrepresent or hallucinate clinical detail, and how to build AI workflows that actually protect your clinical voice, not overwrite it.
You'll leave with a deep understanding of how PsychAssist applies the SPICE framework:Structured Prompting, Professional Judgment, Integration, Context, and Ethical Accountability.
Key Takeaways

AI without context is a clinical liability

You are responsible for every word — even if AI writes it
Context is everything — fragments don't diagnose
Why This Matters Now
The urgency of ethical AI implementation in clinical practice
Generative AI is already inside clinical workflows — often through backchannels like ChatGPT, copy-paste workflows, or off-the-shelf "AI writers" that promise speed but strip away clinical nuance. For licensed psychologists, this trend poses both opportunity and risk.
This webinar doesn't just introduce PsychAssist. It unpacks how judgment, diagnostic frameworks, and patient context can be quietly undermined by overly confident, out-of-context output. Many tools look impressive — until you try explaining them in court or integrating them into IEP documentation.
With the rise of AI in healthcare, assessment psychologists face a new ethical frontier. Tools that hallucinate or skip steps don't just hurt credibility — they put patient care at risk. That's why this session focuses on critical thinking, not click-to-generate magic.
The practices you set today will define your legal and clinical defensibility tomorrow. This webinar exists to help you choose wisely.
“A confident sentence generated out of context is more dangerous than silence.”
