Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychiatry
  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
  • Disability Assessment

Background:

  • Psychiatric disability assessment, particularly in minors, faces challenges due to its perceived imprecision and lack of scientific rigor.
  • Assessing disability in children requires consideration of unique developmental aspects that influence disability formation and outcome.
  • The interplay between disability and development is reciprocal, impacting personality integration and the transformation of disability into handicap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the need for a reliable method in psychiatric disability assessment for minors.
  • To introduce a novel formula for quantifying psychiatric disability in minors, incorporating developmental considerations.
  • To propose a tool for use in National Insurance benefit claims and compensation assessments.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a new formula for arithmetical calculation of disability percentages in minors.
  • Retrospective testing of the new formula against 50 clinical reports.
  • Comparison of the new formula's results with the Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS).

Main Results:

  • The proposed formula provides an arithmetical method for calculating disability percentages in minors.
  • A good correlation was observed between the results of the new formula and the CGAS when applied retrospectively.
  • Two case studies illustrating the application of the formula are presented.

Conclusions:

  • The new formula offers a more objective approach to quantifying psychiatric disability in minors.
  • Understanding psychopathological structures alongside developmental elements is crucial for accurate disability assessment.
  • Further evaluation by objective evaluators is recommended to refine the model for objective disability evaluation in children and adolescents.
