Consultation is the process in which a psychologist helps a caregiver perform their role more effectively. This caregiver could be the adult child of an individual with Alzheimer's disease. Or, the caregiver could be members of an organization providing day care services to a child with a behavior disorder. The caregiver seeks out the expertise of a psychologist to manage some aspect of their role/responsibility that is particularly challenging. Consultation can be utilized following the administration of a psychological evaluation or as an independent service.
