“…Practically without exception, investigators from all over the world come to the same conclusion that (a) the SCL-90 is dominated by a general complaint factor and/or (b) that the dimensional structure of the scale seems to be unstable when testing that structure in different groups of respondents. These conclusions extend to the different norm groups, relevant for the use of the SCL-90: hospitalised psychiatric patients (Bonyinge, 1993;Carpenter & Hitner, 1995;Hafkenscheid, 1993;Rauter, Leonard & Swett, 1996), ambulant psychiatric patients (Hafkenscheid, 1993;Holi, Sammallahti & Aalberg, 1998;Schmitz, Hartkamp, Kiuse, Franke, Reister & Tress, 2000) and 'normals' (Holi et al, 1998;Vassend & Skrondal, 1999;Hessel, Schumeighter, Geyer & Bra¨hler, 2001).…”

“…The SCL-90 has undergone extensive psychometric testing. The internal consistency and stability of the subscales and the total scores are adequate, as is the discriminatory power of the SCL-90 (Arrindell & Ettema, 2003;Hafkenscheid, 1993). The psychometric status of the SCL-90 is, however, controversial regarding the reproducibility of the symptom dimensions that are distinguished in the measurement instrument (Hafkenscheid, 2004a(Hafkenscheid, , 2004b.…”

“…In confirmatory factor analytic research into the Dutch version of the SCL-90 in samples of hospitalised and ambulant psychiatric patients (Hafkenscheid, 1993), it was not possible to reproduce the postulated dimensional structure of the SCL-90 either. Using explorative analyses, it only proved possible to distinguish four factors from the original dimensions that were clinically interpretable: depression, hostility-suspicion, somatising and phobic anxiety.…”

Within the Netherlands, there is a controversy regarding the question to what extent the SCL-90 can be considered an eight-dimensional self-assessment scale for psychopathology. Recently, the Dutch group who introduced the SCL-90 in the Netherlands again defended the premise that the SCL-90 has a structure of eight dimensions, on the basis of LISREL analyses on the SCL-90 scores of a large group of pain patients. In our study, also using the confirmatory factor analytic LISREL model, we investigated to what extent an eight-dimensional structure for the SCL-90 could be found in a large group of psychiatric patients (n = 1219). A parsimonious dimensional structure sufficiently explained our SCL-90 data. A reduced dimensionality was found for the Dutch SCL-90. The differences between the results of our study and the earlier findings of the Dutch promoters of the SCL-90 are mainly due to their accommodating application of the fit criteria.

“…Therapists and the patients they selected completed the Symptom Checklist (SCL-90; Derogatis, 1983;Hafkenscheid, 1993b) and, when a traumatized patient was selected, the Impact of Event Scale, or IES (Horowitz, Wilner, & Alvarez, 1979). For therapists, the instructions of the IES were amended in such a way that therapists completed the IES items in relation to their patients' (rather than to their own) possibly traumatic, particular experiences.…”

Event countertransference and vicarious traumatization: Theoretically valid and clinically useful concepts?

The event countertransference and vicarious traumatization concepts have been introduced in the 1990s to describe the adverse emotional impacts that working with severely traumatized patients may have for the helping professional. These concepts are increasingly popular among trauma therapists. The present paper critically discusses the empirical evidence, theoretical validity and clinical utility of both concepts. Vulnerable trauma therapists may too eagerly embrace the event countertransference and vicarious traumatization perspectives as a cover up for their own failures. Interpersonal communication theory is suggested as a more useful conceptual framework for the analysis of countertransference reactions in therapies with severely traumatized patients.

“…In contrast hiermee vonden Weijenborg en Ter Kuile (2000) voor geen van de schalen van de SCL-90 aanwijzingen voor het hertesteffect. Om het eventuele hertesteffect bij uitkomstonderzoek te vermijden wordt een correctie hiervoor desondanks noodzakelijk geacht (Hafkenscheid, 1993;Koeter et al, 1987). Als ondersteuning van de discriminerende validiteit kwam naar voren dat de angstschaal en depressieschaal een verschillend patroon van correlaties met andere variabelen vertonen.…”

SAMENVATTING Als gevolg van verschillende ontwikkelingen in de (geestelijke) gezondheidszorg, heeft uitkomstonderzoek meer en meer aan terrein gewonnen. De Clinical Global Impression (CGI), Korte Klachtenlijst (KKL), Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (HoNOS), Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R), Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), Outcome Questionnaire (OQ-45) en Outcome Rating Scale (ORS), Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation − Outcome Measure (CORE-OM) en Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) zijn veelgebruikte instrumenten voor het meten van de ernst van klachten en/of het dagelijks functioneren. De Manchester Short Assessment of Quality of Life (MANSA) en World Health Organisation Quality of Life-Bref (WHOQoL-Bref) worden veel gebruikt voor het evalueren van kwaliteit van leven. In deze literatuurstudie is een vergelijkend overzicht gegeven van diverse instrumenten die geschikt zouden zijn voor gebruik voor Routine Outcome Monitoring in de volwassenenzorg. InleidingOndanks het grote aanbod van uitkomstinstrumenten is er een gebrek aan studies waar zowel een overzicht van als een vergelijking tussen deze instrumenten wordt gemaakt. Dit leidt ertoe dat de afweging en keuze voor een instrument in de praktijk bemoeilijkt wordt.In lijn met diverse ontwikkelingen in de (geestelijke) gezondheidszorg, zoals een toename in zorgconsumptie, toenemende commercialisering en medische, technologische en farmacologische kennis (TNO, z.d.), is in het afgelopen decennium de aandacht voor het behandeleffect op kwaliteit van leven alsmede de kosteneffectiviteit van MSC R.A.
