ASYLUM

Seeking asylum can be stressful. Often, individuals bear the invisible scars of abuse, mistreatment, or persecution experienced in their home country. These invisible wounds might translate into mental health disorders like Major Depressive Disorder and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, hindering their ability to navigate the asylum process effectively. We will assess all experiences and examine the consequences.

At Immigration Psychology, we understand the gravity of this situation. Our team of experienced psychologists offers comprehensive immigration psychological evaluations, providing a means of documenting your experiences and current mental state.

The Essence of Immigration Psychological Evaluations

The core aim of immigration psychological evaluations is to delve into the mental state of an individual seeking asylum, making the emotional and psychological effects of their past experiences visible. At Immigration Psychology, we follow a meticulous approach that begins with a thorough clinical interview. This process is aimed at gathering detailed personal narratives, shedding light on any traumatic events experienced, and assessing their emotional and psychological impact.

Following the interview, we conduct comprehensive psychological testing. These tests serve as objective measures that supplement information obtained during the interview. The evaluation assesses various facets such as cognitive function, emotional well-being, and signs of mental health disorders, allowing for an in-depth understanding of the individual’s psychological state.

The key outcome of our immigration psychological evaluations is the psychological report, a comprehensive document that captures an individual’s emotional journey. This report encapsulates the history of persecution or abuse, identifies the ‘protected group’ the applicant belongs to, and outlines the mental health consequences from prior and potential future abuse or persecution.

Psychological evaluations serve to document the impact of mistreatment, abuse, or persecution inflicted in a foreign country.

The emotional impact may include the development of formal mental health disorders such as Major Depressive Disorder and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. The psychological evaluation includes a clinical interview and testing of the person applying for asylum.

The psychological report describes the persecution or abuse, the “protected group” the applicant belongs to, the mental health consequences of prior abuse persecution, and the mental health consequences related to fear of abuse/persecution in the future.
