Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV® Axis II Personality Disorders (SCID-II)

The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis II Personality Disorders (SCID-II) is an efficient, user-friendly instrument that will help researchers and clinicians make standardized, reliable, and accurate diagnoses of the 10 DSM-IV Axis II personality disorders as well as depressive personality disorder, passive-aggressive personality disorder, and personality disorder not otherwise specified. Now compatible with DSM-IV, the interview questions have been redesigned to reflect the subject’s inner experience. This instrument begins with a brief overview that characterizes the subject’s typical behavior and relationships and elicits information about the subject's capacity for self-reflection. It then considers each of the personality disorders in detail.


Reviews

"[T]he SCID-II is a significant step beyond more impressionistic clinical diagnoses of personality disorders, not only because it systematically covers all criteria, but also because patients are asked to document their affirmative responses by providing specific examples."—Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic

"This work will serve as an invaluable guide for clinicians and clinical researchers. Increasingly, clinicians are looking for easy-to-use, validated, and informative semistructured interviews for systematic evaluation of patients. Until recently, such interviews have been unavailable for the personality disorders; the SCID-II has been a welcome and much needed method for assessment of Axis II disorders. Dr. First is a widely known expert in the development of clinical interview methods, and of their explication. This manual will make it quite easy to learn to use the SCID-II and to quickly incorporate it into clinical work. Highly recommended."—John M. Oldham, M.D., Director, New York State Psychiatric Institute, Professor and Associate Chairman, Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, New York

"This is a wonderfully practical approach to the diagnosis of personality disorders that will greatly improve clinical practice in this important area."—Allen Frances, M.D., Chair, DSM-IV Task Force, Chair, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina
