Abstract:
The short clinical diagnostic self-rating scale for emotional and somatic concerns--Symptom Check List--90 (SCL-90)--was translated into everyday Hebrew and tested on 131 subjects for: 1. Construct validity, using item analysis. 2. Discriminating validity on a gradient of general practice patients and 'normal' controls. The Hebrew SCL-90 was found to retain its validity and to be easily administered and scored in non-treatment situations. It was also used as a tool for generating and substantiating hypotheses on psychosomatic and psychosocial interrelationships.
