Book synopsis

The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5, Clinician Version (SCID-5-CV), is a semistructured interview guide for making DSM-5 diagnoses. It is administered by a clinician or trained mental health professional who is familiar with DSM-5 classification and diagnostic criteria. The SCID-5-CV is available in sets of five one-time-use booklets. The SCID-5-CV can be used: * To ensure that all of the major DSM-5 diagnoses are systematically evaluated in adults. For example, the SCID is often used as part of intake procedures in clinical settings or to help insure a comprehensive forensic diagnostic evaluation. * To characterize a study population in terms of current psychiatric diagnoses. For example, diagnostic data that are obtained using the SCID interview can be used by researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and the general public who are interested in prevalence and incidence estimates of psychiatric disorders among certain populations (e.g., depression in patients with diabetes).* To improve interviewing skills of students in the mental health professions, including psychiatry, psychology, psychiatric social work, and psychiatric nursing. For example, the SCID can provide trainees with a repertoire of useful questions to elicit information from a patient as the basis for making diagnostic judgments. Through repeated administrations of the SCID, students become familiar with the DSM-5 criteria and at the same time incorporate useful questions into their interviewing repertoire. The SCID-5-CV is an abridged and reformatted version of the SCID-5-RV for use by clinicians that covers those diagnoses most commonly seen in clinical settings. Despite the "clinician" designation, the SCID-5-CV can be used in research settings as long as the disorders of particular interest to the researcher are among those included in the SCID-5-CV. Screening questions are provided for those diagnoses that are included in their entirety in SCID-5-RV but have been left out of the SCID-5-CV. A unique and valuable tool, the SCID-5 is used to assess and record DSM-5 diagnostic decisions. It will guide the clinician step-by-step through diagnostic decisions using the DSM-5 criteria, which are included in abridged format.
