Document Summary
Clinical interview schedule for affective disorders and schizophrenia (sads) Way of assessing a patient"s mental state at the present time. Semi-structured diagnostic interview: assess almost all disorders, lengthy procedure: takes about 90 to 150 minutes. Used to supplement (not replace) clinical judgment. *each instrument alone not the sole basis on which ncrmd is judged; they are used on the side of the results found in the clinical interview as well as the results from a cilinician"s assessment. Allow individuals to project unconscious feelings onto a stimulus: no fixed set of possible responses; any response can be revealed. Projection of unconscious factors onto ambiguous stimulus. Tests involve minimal structure and minimal restriction on responses that individuals are able to make (kind of like it"s very free-ended) Standardized administration and scoring: but interpretation of scores depends on clinical judgment. Similarity to objective tests: both are administered in strictly standardized ways, done the same way for every single patient.
