2 Introduction Psychological assessment plays a key role in the practice of a clinical psychologist. The field of psychological assessment has seen some drastic changes in the recent decade. New tests have been adapted and standartized in the Lithuanian-speaking population. The culture of clinical has greatly improved (ethical requirments for test use have risen, specialists training has incorporated more assessment courses, quality of assessment practice has been attended more thoroughly by universities) (Gudaitė, 2007). In order to provide psychologists services that ascertain to European standarts there is a need for reliable, valid, legal and suitable for use tests in Lithuania. The availability of proper tests enables the aqcuisition of quality psychic health care services (Hunsley and Mash, 2008). Despite the developments in the recent decade one biggest issues in clinical practice is the shortage of proper tests (Dapšienė ir Kalpokienė, 2011). In the biggest survey on clinical assessment among psychologists in the Lithuanian Health Cares system to date 49 % of respondents the shortage of suitable tests for clinical practice as the most important issue in clinical assessment (Grigutytė, 2011). The majority of tests used in the current practice of clinical psychologists in the Lithuanian health care institutions do not meet the standarts for proper tests (Dapšienė ir Kalpokienė, 2011). Although is a shortage of tests for variuos psychological functions, there is a lack of knowledge of the most prevalent needs and issues, which clinical psychologists face in clinical practice. The state of clinical psychological assessment in the Lithuanian health care system from the practicioners perspective is poorly researched. Study aim To investigate the state of clinical psychological assessment in the Lithuanian health care system from the psychologists-practicioners perspective: 1) what kind of tests are used in clinical practice and what are clinicians opinions about them; 2) what kind of psychological functions are assessed in clinical practice and what is the opinion of clinicians about the assessment of these psychological functions; 3) what kind of issues are the most pressing in clinical assessment. Methodology 101 clinical psychologists from 65 Lithuanian health care institutions completed a questionnaire about their opinion on clinical psychological assessment. Firstly, the participants were asked what tests are used during clinical assessment. The identified test was rated on a 6-point scale, how often the test is used in clinical practice, how they perceive the efficacy of the test, how they view the necessity of the test for clinical practice. Secondly, the participants of the study were asked what kind of psychological 34
3 functions are assessed during clinical assessment. The identified psychological functions was rated on a 6-point scale, how often the psychological functions is evaluated, how the assessment of a particular psychological function is important to clinical practice, how they perceive day-to-day effectiveness of the clinical assessment of a particular psychological function. Lastly, 3 open questions were asked: For which psychological functions is the greatest need of new tests? ; What kind problems and mistakes are most often encountered in clinical practice? ; What kind of tests first of all should be standardized or adapted?. Results The 15 most frequently used tests are presented in Table 1. The most frequently used tests measure intelligence, emotions and neuropsychological functions. The minority of the used tests are viewed as good instruments for clinical assessment. 43 of 61 tests were rated more often as ineffective then as effective instruments in clinical practice. The 15 tests perceived as the most effective are presented in Table 2. The majority of tests that are the most important for clinical practice measure neuropsychological processes, intelligence and emotions. The 15 tests perceived as the most important are presented in Table 3. Table 1.

5 21 different psychological functions are assessed in clinical practice. There is variation among different clinical psychologists and health care institutions, but every participant of the study assesses emotions, intelligence, attention, orientation, memory and executive functions in their clinical practice. Also, these psychological functions are most frequently assessed in clinical practice. Other psychological functions, which are assessed in clinical practice, include behavior (97 %), personality (97 %), motivation (91 %), verbal skills (85 %), development (84 %), sensation (79 %), perception (79 %), attitudes (71 %), self-appraisal (69 %), creativity (55 %), willpower (55 %), consciousness states (41 %), psychomotor (38 %), learning (8 %). Emotions, intelligence, orientation, memory, executive functions and attention are the most important evaluated psychological functions in clinical practice.

A thematic map of the practical problems can be seen in Figure 1. Three predominant themes have been identified: 1) the assessment of specific psychological functions (neuropsychological and psychosocial functioning); 2) the assessment of specific disorders (schizophrenia spectrum disorders and autism spectrum disorders); 3) the assessment of specific stages of development (children and teenagers). The majority of participants answered that there is greatest for tests that measure neuropsychological processes (attention, memory, 38
7 executive functions, etc.). A pie chart of participants answers is presented in Figure % percent of participants answered there is the greatest need for tests that measure neuropsychological processes, 15 % - emotions, 11 % - personality, 5 % - development, 5 % - motivation. In Table 6 top 10 tests which first of all should be adapted or standartized are presented. Figure 1.

Attention, memory, executive functions, intelligence and emotions are the most important and frequently assessed psychological functions in clinical practice. Neuropsychogical assessment of attention, memory, executive functions, are viewed as the most problematic fields of assessment. The adaptation, standartization and revision of the various neuropsychological tests was suggested. The most pressing issues in clinical practice are: 1) the assessment of specific psychological functions (neuropsychological and psychosocial functioning); 2) the assessment of specific disorders (schizophrenia spectrum disorders and autism spectrum disorders); 3) the assessment of specific stages of development (children and teenagers). Conclusions Intelligence, neuropsychological processes and emotions are the most frequently and important assessed psychological functions in clinical practice. Despite this fact, the assessment of neuropsychological processes (attention, memory, executive functions) is viewed as problematic and ineffective. Currently in clinical practice the greatest need is of neuropsychological tests. The adaptation, standartization and revision of the various neuropsychological tests is heavily supported by the majority of clinicians. The most pressing issues in clinical practice are: 1) the assessment of specific psychological functions (neuropsychological and psychosocial functioning); 2) the assessment of specific disorders (schizophrenia spectrum disorders and autism spectrum disorders); 3) the asessment of specific stages of development (children and teenagers). 40
