Does how someone look play a role in assessment? If these models were actually clients you saw in an emergency room, the appearance of which model would likely provide a clinician with important information to follow up on during an assessment? Answer: Both. The model on the left appears disheveled, suggesting the possibility of depression or psychosis, whereas the animation of the person on the right might indicate mania or substance use.
