Assessing Decision Making Capacity — Full-Day Masterclass for Psychologists (Malaysia)

Where the law is silent, your assessment speaks.

Families, doctors and lawyers are asking psychologists a big question more and more: can this person make this decision? This full-day masterclass is a chance to work through it together, with Malaysian clients in mind.

Dr Judy Tang OAM is a clinical neuropsychologist registered in Australia. She has assessed and completed many decision-making capacity cases there, throughout all levels of court. She will share what she has learned along the way, the tricky cases included.

Dr Tang will share:

• how capacity questions come up in Malaysian practice, and how to approach them

• how to run a capacity assessment, from the first phone call to the final report

• how to choose tests that suit Malaysian clients

• how to assess decisions about money and wills

• how to notice pressure, undue influence and elder abuse

• what to expect when you are asked to be an expert witness

In this masterclass, you will learn to run a careful assessment, explain your choices, and write a report that holds up well when it is questioned.

The day is relaxed and hands-on, with case studies, small-group exercises and lots of time for your questions. You will take home a workbook, case exercises, a contested-will case study and a report template. 6 hours of learning. Delivered in English. Light refreshments provided.

For psychologists and postgraduate trainees. Places are limited.

Tickets are charged in SGD (Humanitix does not support RM): RM 300 standard (SGD 95), RM 180 students (SGD 55, please bring your student ID).
