The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5(R) Personality Disorders (SCID-5-PD) is an essential semistructured diagnostic interview designed for clinicians and researchers to accurately assess the 10 DSM-5 Personality Disorders across Clusters A, B, and C, including Other Specified Personality Disorder. This updated version replaces the former Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis II Personality Disorders (SCID-II) and reflects the changes made in the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria.
One of the key benefits of the SCID-5-PD is its ability to build rapport with patients, facilitating a more comfortable environment for diagnosis. The SCID-5-PD can be utilized to make personality disorder diagnoses in two ways:
- Categorical assessment: Diagnoses are determined as present or absent.
- Dimensional assessment: Allows for a nuanced understanding of personality disorders.
The SCID-5-PD features thoroughly reviewed and revised interview questions that optimally capture the constructs embodied in the diagnostic criteria. Key features include:
- Comprehensive questions that assess the DSM-5 criteria for each of the 10 personality disorders, including:
- Avoidant Personality Disorder
- Dependent Personality Disorder
- Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder
- Paranoid Personality Disorder
