Quick Structured Clinical Interview for Dsm-5(r) Disorders (Quickscid-5)

Michael B. First

QuickSCID-5 is a briefer, more time-efficient version of the SCID designed to be administered usually in 30 minutes or less. The shorter administration time results from the fact that QuickSCID-5 consists almost entirely of closed-ended questions that can be answered "YES" or "NO" by the patient.

Praise for this book

>QuickSCID-5 is a reliable structured diagnostic tool that can be administered rapidly in a clinical setting by a wide variety of individuals. Where the full SCID is applicable to research settings, it frequently is too time consuming for clinical settings. The QuickSCID-5 helps resolve that issue and will help clinicians formulate a more accurate symptom-oriented DSM-5 diagnosis, which should be the starting point in formulating treatment recommendations for most patients. It is also an excellent tool to use in training environments to teach the questions one should ask when making these types of diagnoses.
