The author discusses automated multiphasic health testing (AMHT) and its potential value to psychiatry. He describes screening instruments and techniques being developed and tested at the University of Florida for specific use in AMHT centers. These include psychophysiological measures, blood chemical indicators of psychological state, and paper-and-pencil psychological instruments that measure psychosocial history, psychiatric symptoms, and critical social readjustments.
