Böcker av Elizabeth B. Weller

Covering both the ChIPS and P-ChIPS, the booklet presents background information about the interview's development, detailed instructions for conducting the interview and recording its results, explicit criteria for assessing interviewee responses, complete specifications for preparing mental health paraprofessionals to administer the interview.

Questions are succinct, simply worded, and easily understood. Practitioners have already found ChIPS indispensable in screening for conditions such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, substance abuse, phobias, anxiety disorders, stress disorders, eating disorders, mood disorders, elimination disorders, and schizophrenia.

These Scoring Forms provide ample space for recording verbatim responses to interview questions, with check boxes to indicate whether the symptom criteria and duration and impairment requirements are met. A Profile Sheet, perforated for easy removal from the Scoring Form, is included to itemize principal findings and diagnosis. This is a package of 20.

(One-time use abbreviated summary form)Report Forms provide a quick way of conveying P-ChIPS results. If subsequently desired, this "at-a-glance" summary of the symptoms endorsed during the interview can be used by a clinician to identify areas warranting further scrutiny. This is a package of 20.
