This self-paced online training program on Clinical and Forensic Applications of the Hare PCL-R and PCL:SV was developed by Dr. Stephen Hart and is presented in partnership with Protect International. 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 course is designed to give practitioners the opportunity to develop and demonstrate a high level of expertise in the use of the PCL-R and PCL:SV.
Participants will begin by learning principles of administration and interpretation, then building related skills by completing and reviewing case studies. Next, participants will develop the most effective ways to communicate their findings, both in writing and orally. Throughout, participants will have the opportunity to examine critical issues related to 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.

“I think it’s great that you include the audio via mp3 and the transcript; it allowed me to complete the video and to choose the format of the training that worked best given the different settings that I would be in when doing the training (i.e., at home, at work, at a café or in the carpool on my way to work). Overall, I loved this training, it works well online and I like how the videos and the sections are divided. Dr. Hart is an EXCELLENT presenter! Thank you!!” – Psychologist working in Corrections
