Synopsis

A criterion-referenced diagnostic screening instrument designed to assess personality disorders and clinical syndromes. It was developed for psychotherapists who need a quick yet effective diagnostic checklist that does not require complex scoring or the use of a reference manual.Originally designed to bridge the gap between psychological testing and psychiatric diagnosis, the checklist includes adapted DSM-IV diagnostic descriptors. The MDI-R can be used in psychological assessment, treatment planning, and as a treatment outcome measure. In managed care practice, it can be used to document medical necessity criteria for initial treatment and it can facilitate reviews by third-party utilization reviewers.

Four scales are Personality, Adult Clinical, Adolescent Clinical, and Child Clinical.
