Computer-assisted psychological assessment has been operational for 25 years. It has been well received by patients and shows a degree of reliability that is comparable to that of conventional testing. The authors report on the development of a computerized psychosexual assessment laboratory in a forensic facility housing convicted sex offenders who volunteered for treatment. The development of the laboratory was in response to the need for uniform psychosocial data on each resident that can be used for making better diagnoses, developing personalized treatment programs, and assessing treatment outcome. The process of selecting the psychological tests and programming them for interactive administration is described, as are the testing procedures using the penile plethysmograph with stimuli based on the Tanner developmental stages. A computer-assisted psychosocial assessment that produces a psychosocial history was developed. The laboratory's overall value in the treatment program is assessed.
计算机辅助心理评估已经运行了25年。它受到了患者的广泛欢迎，并且显示出与传统测试相当的可靠性。作者报告了在一个收容自愿接受治疗的已定罪性犯罪者的法医机构中建立一个计算机化性心理评估实验室的情况。该实验室的建立是为了满足获取每位住院者统一心理社会数据的需求，这些数据可用于做出更准确的诊断、制定个性化治疗方案以及评估治疗效果。文中描述了选择心理测试并将其编程用于交互式管理的过程，以及使用基于坦纳发育阶段刺激的阴茎体积描记器的测试程序。开发了一种能生成心理社会病史的计算机辅助心理社会评估方法。评估了该实验室在治疗方案中的整体价值。
