I have heard that the APA has developed a manual on psychiatric measures. What is included in the Handbook?
The APA published the Handbook of Psychiatric Measures in May 2000. The main purpose of the manual is to provide clinicians working in mental health or care settings with a compendium of some of the available rating scales and tests that may be useful in the clinical care of their patients or for their use in the interpretation and implementation of services research studies. In addition, the manual is designed to provide guidance to clinicians, policy makers and planners on how to select, use and interpret clinical measures. The primary audience for the manual is psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. The manual describes how to select and use psychiatric assessment tools and evaluate available measures. It is envisioned as a toolbox with instructions or a consumer’s guide to the various psychiatric measures.
