The “Clinical Interview for Psychotic Disorders” (CIPD): Development and expert evaluation

Abstract

Background: New treatment approaches for psychosis indicate that effective interventions require a therapeutic focus on emotional regulation, cognitive appraisals, and functioning. Efficacy of psychotherapeutic interventions' evaluation has changed from exclusively assessing symptom frequency/severity to a comprehensive and functional assessment of interference, functioning, and the relationship people have with symptoms. This shift led to new needs in clinical assessment. This study aimed to develop and submit to expert evaluation a new clinical interview for psychotic disorders which considers the new needs of the field.

Factor structure of the Albanian version of the Clinical Assessment Interview for Negative Symptoms (CAINS): Associations with the Brief Symptoms Inventory (BSI)

“…As such, good quality mental health care for psychotic patients is characterized by a detailed and broad assessment of patient problems and needs. To facilitate this type of in-depth assessment of negative symptoms in psychotic disorders, an extraordinary range of measures have been produced (Martins, Carvalho, Castilho, Pereira, & Macedo, 2015). Among the most frequently used of these measures are the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS; Kay, Fiszbein, & Opler, 1987), the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS; Andreasen, 1982), and the Negative Symptom Assessment (NSA; Alphs, Summerfelt, Lann, & Mueller, 1989).…”
