The Critical Items form lists 17 items whose responses may alert the clinician to the existence of behavior or psychopathology that requires immediate attention.The Profile form contains a clinical skyline indicating the distribution of scores from a large sample of clinical cases, enabling you to compare your client’s scores with those in the clinical sample.Ten of these scales contain conceptually driven subscales designed to facilitate interpretation and coverage of the full breadth of complex clinical constructs. Twenty-two non overlapping scales (four validity scales, 11 clinical scales, five treatment consideration scales, and two interpersonal scales) comprise 264 items.Scores are presented in the form of linear T scores, which were calculated with reference to a U.S.Clinical constructs were selected on the basis of their importance within the nosology of mental disorder and their significance in contemporary diagnostic practice and assess experiences (e.g., suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety) that are expressed with reasonable consistency across the life span.
Items are written at a fourth-grade reading level.
