C, Granite Bay, CA 95746 (916) 652-7014 Unique Qualities I am retired as a Senior Psychologist from the California Depa rtment of Corrections. I do not require health benefits as I am fully covered. Since retiring, I have been working as a contractor, working for various regist ries, while the agency needed coverage pending hiring full time employees. I ha ve been mainly placed with various prisons where I have been doing evaluations, risk assessments, and counseling. As accurate diagnosis is a part of my work, I am very familiar with the DSM IV. I have taught the DSM to psychology students in the past. I have worked closely with other team members, including psychiat rists and medical staff. I am willing to travel statewide. I am very experienced with psychological testing including intellectual assessme nts, personality testing, testing for dementia, which I use in assessments. I have worked with the geriatric population in nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities with the chronically medically ill. I have conducted testing to det ermine degree of dementia or psychological impairment, then consulted with medic al staff about my findings. I have worked with the geriatric population in the community as well as institutional settings, such as prisons. I am computer knowledgeable, using the computer to write evaluations and then tr ansferring the evaluations electronically. I have a mobile desktop computer and I use Microsoft Word 2007. I edit my reports carefully, trying to avoid errors , which is very important in preparing legal documents. I have had experience working with the most disturbed individuals in various set tings, primarily in prison. Some persons are psychotic, emotionally disturbed, or psychopathic. Even those who are the most offensive and difficult to work wi th can respond to kindness and genuine concern. EDUCATION Ph.
