A rating scale for emotional blunting
R Abrams and MA Taylor
Although emotional blunting has always been considered a core symptom of
schizophrenia, it has been excluded from recently developed sets of
diagnostic criteria because of its alleged unreliability. The authors
describe a brief rating scale for emotional blunting that is highly
reliable, predicts short-term treatment response, and discriminates between
patients with affective disorder and schizophrenia. They suggest that this
scale will permit restoration of the important criterion of emotional
blunting to modern diagnostic systems, including that proposed for DSM-III.
