PCL-R and PCL:SV Master Course
Presented by Stephen D. Hart, PhD
This on-demand professional training on Clinical and Forensic Applications of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) and Psychopathy Checklist: Screening Version (PCL:SV) Master Course is presented by Stephen D. Hart, PhD in partnership with Protect International Risk and Safety Services.
The ability to assess psychopathic personality disorder (PPD) is an important requirement for clinical and forensic mental health professionals working in many settings. The Hare PCL-R and PCL:SV are widely regarded as the gold standard for assessing PPD, yet it is clear from experience in the field and recent research that these tools are not simple or easy to use. This program gives practitioners the opportunity to develop and demonstrate a high level of expertise in the use of the PCL-R and PCL:SV.
Participants learn the principles of administration and interpretation, then build related skills by completing and reviewing case studies. Next, participants develop the most effective ways to communicate their findings, both in writing and orally. Participants have the opportunity to examine critical issues related to the assessment of PPD using the PCL-R and PCL:SV. Participants are presented with a Certificate of Competence in the use of the PCL-R and PCL:SV.
This program typically takes about 30 hours to complete and includes a review of the training videos, readings related to the PCL-R and PCL:SV, working through and scoring 4 case studies, and reviewing the case discussions of each.
