“…It consists of 18 items and allows for analysis into positive, negative, and depressive symptoms and general psychopathology. Good inter-observer and intra-observer reliability has been demonstrated, in this original 18-item version as well as in an extended version [22,23]. The Cronbach's alpha value for the present sample was 0.79.…”

This study investigated predictors of quality of life among persons with schizophrenia and other psychoses. On the basis of previous research, it was hypothesised that objective life circumstances, self-variables, psychopathology, activity level, satisfaction with daily activities, and satisfaction with medical care would be determinants of quality of life. 134 persons were investigated, and the analysis was based on Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). A model with two quality of life variables, General quality of life and Security, fitted the data best. A self-variable, Sense of self, and Satisfaction with daily activities, Psychopathology, and Satisfaction with medical care served as mediators and explained the variation in the quality of life variables. External to the mediators, and related to these, were Activity level, Educational level, and Independent living. In conclusion, a self-variable showed the strongest association with quality of life, but two aspects that should be feasible to influence in mental health care, daily activity and medical care, contributed to the subjects' self-rated quality of life. These results render a somewhat optimistic view on how to accomplish a better self-perceived quality of life among people with severe mental illness.

“…For instance, in reliability studies of psychiatric rating scales the lower limit for acceptable interrater reliability has been defined by ICC D C0.75 (e.g. Hafkenscheid, 1991Hafkenscheid, , 1993. However, for two reasons such a stringent lower limit was avoided in this study.…”

Objective countertransference: do patients' interpersonal impacts generalize across therapists?

Objective countertransference refers to the constricted feelings, attitudes and reactions of a therapist, that are induced primarily by the patient's maladaptive behaviour and that are generalizable to other therapists (and to other significant others in the patient's life). In interpersonal theory and therapy, the equivalent of objective countertransference is the impact message concept. Impact messages refer to the cognitions, emotions and action tendencies evoked in the therapist by a particular patient's interpersonal pressures. This paper tests the interpersonal hypothesis that interpersonal impact generalizes across therapists (and by extension across interpersonal relationships). Generalizability of impact messages across therapists was determined for different combinations of therapist pairs, independently rating a total of 131 psychiatric outpatients with the IMI-C (Impact Message Inventory, revised circumplex version). It was found that impact messages were most clearly generalizable across therapists for the Dominance (D) category, followed by the Hostile-Dominant (HD) and Hostile-Submissive (HS) categories. In contrast, the other five categories of impact messages turned out to be poorly generalizable across therapists. Impact messages within the Dominance (D) category were also strikingly stable over a period of time of 12 months or longer. Some possible causes of the limited generalizability of most impact message categories are discussed.

“…The anxiety-depression subscale, a 10-item psychotic disintegration scale that includes items from the thought disturbance subscale, and the BPRS-18 global score all met acceptable interrater reliability standards. In addition, interrater reliabilities were significantly higher with patients in the psychotic range than patients with nonpsychotic disorders (Hafkenscheid, 1993).…”

“…When examining the BPRS with its more frequently used procedure of single clinician ratings, its subscales were replicable, but the interrater reliability was low (Hafkenscheid, 1991). Hafkenscheid (1993) examined the interrater reliability of the 18-item BPRS (BPRS-18) and the BPRS-E. Most of the BPRS-E items obtained satisfactory coefficients until analyzed for chance-corrected agreement, which is a more stringent criteria.…”

Comparison of the brief psychiatric rating scale and the brief symptom inventory

General psychopathology rating scales have multiple uses and have been used extensively. These rating scales may be found in several forms including an interview procedure and self-report. The advantages of self-report measures, as well as their possible deficits, were discussed. Because there are so many varying kinds of rating scales, criteria were set forth as to how to evaluate scales. An interview with a rating scale, the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), and a self-report measure, the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), were compared in this study. The BPRS has been widely used and has been evaluated as one of the very best rating scales. However, experienced raters and more time are needed to administer the BPRS. The BSI is highly evaluated as one of the best brief self-report measures and requires much less professional time. Both instruments have high reliability and validity. Correlations of the BPRS total score with the total scores on the BSI were significant, as were correlations of the depression, anxiety, and hostility subscales on each instrument. Therefore, either scale could be used for a brief assessment of overall symptomatology, depression, anxiety, and hostility. However, it is suggested that the subscales should be compared to other criteria to measure their convergent validity.
