Self-reporting by psychiatric patients about their social anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders is recommended as the alternative to interviews in clinical and research settings.
This recommendation is based on findings reported by researchers at the University of Pisa, Italy, and psychiatric and other institutions in the United States.
They found "high agreement" between domain scores with interviews and self-reports in two validated instruments, the Structured Clinical Interview for Social Anxiety Spectrum and the Structured Clinical Interview for Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum. Moreover, the scores were almost identical when the self-report was made first.
Based on interviews and self-reports with both instruments, the researchers assessed 10 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, 10 with social anxiety disorder and 10 with recurrent unipolar depression in remission, along with 20 controls.
