Why is the SCIP ideal for MBC?
The Standard for Clinicians’ Interview in Psychiatry (SCIP) was developed as a measurement-based care tool for clinician use. The SCIP is the only instrument that includes 18 clinician-rated scales covering most adult symptom domains: generalized anxiety, obsessions, compulsions, posttraumatic stress, depression, mania, delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thoughts, aggression, negative symptoms, alcohol use, drug use, attention deficit, hyperactivity, anorexia, binge-eating, and bulimia. The SCIP rating scales meet the criteria for MBC because they are efficient, reliable, and valid. They also reflect the decision-making process by whichclinicians assess psychiatric disorders. The SCIP is the only existing tool that allows for the
comprehensive implementation of MBC in psychiatric practice with adults.
