Objective. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of published evidence on the use of dynamic assessment in psychological counseling, to synthesize current findings regarding the benefits and limitations of dynamic assessment in this field, and to offer topics for further discussion and development of dynamic assessment in psychological counseling. The broader goal of this paper is to encourage greater use of this type of diagnostic approach within the Czech psychology counseling system. Methods. Sources related to findings from both Czech and international research on the use of dynamic assessment in counseling psychology were searched using Charles University’s central search engine “A to Ž’’ and Google Scholar. Papers published in Czech peer-reviewed journals were manually searched (e.g., E-psychologie, Pedagogika). The search approach for Czech and international sources differed due to the significantly larger volume of international materials, which required a more systematic review. For the international sources, authors applied the PRISMA structured review methodology, specifically the revised version from 2020. For the Czech sources, the key search phrase was „dynamická diagnostika“ (without further specification). Results. The results are presented in the form of key discussed topics, which capture problematic areas of the use of dynamic assessment in counseling. The first key issue is the lack of fundamental research on the benefits and effectiveness of dynamic assessment. An objective evaluation of the benefits of dynamic assessment in practice is hindered by the insufficient number of validation studies. The second key issue is the inadequate support in the education of counseling professionals. Limited training and insufficient ongoing professional support make it difficult to implement dynamic assessment in practice. The third key issue is terminological ambiguity and inaccuracy, which complicates understanding the nature of dynamic assessment. Counseling professionals from both Czech and international contexts have misconceptions about dynamic assessment. The fourth key issue is the narrow focus of dynamic assessment on clients from socio-culturally disadvantaged backgrounds, while other areas remain overlooked.
