Diagnosis of nonpatients in the general community
Abstract
Using a sample of 116 subjects drawn from a large metropolitan area, the authors compared ratings of psychopathology from both structured and clinical interviews. Although the two types of interviews yielded similar findings when there was definite psychopathology or definite signs of health, for some subjects in the middle range between health and sickness, the two interviews did not yield similar findings. The authors suggest the need for a new typology to categorize nonpatients in the community who are in the middle range between frank psychiatric disorder and optimal mental health.
