    This study introduces a brief self-report measure for personal disturbance, focusing on recent symptoms. It shows high accuracy in identifying disturbed individuals and is useful for treatment evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychological assessment
    • Clinical psychology
    • Psychopathology measurement

    Background:

    • Existing measures may conflate symptoms with personality traits.
    • A need exists for brief, symptom-focused self-report tools.
    • The Delusions-Symptoms-States Inventory (DSSI) provides a basis for symptom measurement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a brief self-report measure of personal disturbance.
    • To ensure the measure focuses exclusively on recent symptomatology.
    • To validate the measure against expert ratings and differentiate from personality traits.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a brief self-report scale derived from the DSSI.
    • Rater allocation of items to syndromes.
    • Comparison of patient self-reports with psychiatrist ratings.

  • Discrimination analysis between normal and disturbed populations.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant agreement between experienced raters on item allocation to syndromes.
    • High agreement between patient self-reports and psychiatrist ratings.
    • The scale effectively discriminates between normal and personally disturbed individuals.
    • Distinction from personality measures confirmed at anxiety, depression, and total scales.

    Conclusions:

    • The new brief measure accurately assesses recent personal disturbance.
    • The scale is a valuable tool for treatment evaluation.
    • It can be used for detecting personally disturbed individuals in general populations.
