(SCID-D-R).21 The SCID-D-R is a semistructured interview that is considered the gold standard for diagnosing dissociative disorders because it has good-to-excellent reliability and good discriminant validity. A drawback of the SCID-D-R is that it can take as long as three hours to administer to highly dissociative patients and requires specialized training." |

and severity of amnesia, depersonallzation, dereallzadon, identity confusion, and identity alteration symptoms. General, open-ended screening questions are followed by more
detailed quesdons. Diagnostic reliability was assessed for presence/absence of a dissociative disorder, type of dissociative disorder, and severity of specific dissociative symptoms. Inter-rater reliability was in the good to excellent range. Agreement (Kappa) on presence or absence of a dissociative disorder was 0.92; for the diagnosis of DID the kappa was 0.90 (Steinberg et al., 1990) . The SCID-D has been updated for the DSM-IV criteria (Steinberg, 1993), and this version is sometimes referred to as SCID-D-R. Follow-up invesdgations (see Stelnberg, 1995) have reported good to excellent inter-rater and test-retest reliability and very good discriminant validity of the SCID-D for the assessment of dissociative symptom severity and for the dissociative disorders in a variety of populations. These results have been replicated by the Dutch researchers Boon and Draijer (1991), who obtained 97.7% agreement on presence/absence of a dissociative disorder, and 100% agreement of diagnoses of DID. Other investigations (Boon &: Draijer, 1993b; Steinberg, Cicchetti, Buchanan, Rakfeldt, & Rounsaville, 1994) have reported that the SCID-D is effective in distinguishing between patients with clinically diagnosed dissociative disorders and other psychiatric disorders, as well as accurately distinguishing between patients with seizures and pseudoseizures (Bowman & Markand, 1996). |
