Abstract

ACTA PSYCHIAT. SCAND. 1978 - SUPPL. 271 From the Department of Psychiatry (Head: B. Cronholm, M.D.), Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, the Department of Psychiatry (Head: C. Perris, M.D.), Umed University, UmeS, Sweden and the Academic Department of Psychiatry (Head: J.P. Watson, M.D.), Guy’s Hospital Medical School, London, England. M. Asberg, S.A. Montgomery, C. Perris, D. Schalling and G. Sedvall Very few rating scales have been constructed explicitly for the measurement of change in psychopathology despite the large number of scales available for the assessment of psychiatric illness. The introduction of new interven- tion techniques in psychiatry has created a need for instruments to evaluate and compare the efficacy of various treatments. Scales that were initially constructed for diagnostic and classificatory purposes have therefore been used to assess treatment effects although it is sometimes doubtful whether they are sensitive enough for that purpose.
