About the Book
This semi-structured interview format offers a time-efficient method for gathering and recording information and scoring the PCL-R and PCL:SV.*Similar to semi-structured interview schedules used by clinicians--facilitates a rapid accumulation of data. Scoring is complete by the end of the interview.
*Directly links data to individual items, allowing forensic experts to defend their scoring.
*Uses a format that is familiar to clinicians. Items are scored consecutively, and arranged in an order that allows rapid scoring (related items grouped).
*Appropriate for clinical, forensic, and research settings.
*Allows for an easy check of inter-rater reliability of each protocol.
*Tailored to an individual evaluation.
*Eliminates the need to purchase multiple forms (use for both PCL-R & PCL:SV).
*Reduces administration time by a third to a half.
Developed through use in over 400 PCL-R and PCL:SV evaluations in a major forensic psychiatric hospital, and initially published in Gacono (Ed.), A Clinical and Forensic Interview Schedule for the Hare Psychopathology Checklist (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2000), the CFIS has been utilized in over a dozen clinical and forensic settings, with good inter-rater agreement and sound validity.
Reviews
"An efficient and effective data-organizer that boosts the power of the PCL-R."
—J. Reid Meloy, Ph.D., ABPP
Former president, American Academy of Forensic Psychology
"...user-friendly...organized in a sensible fashion that translates directly to the PCL items. This makes it very useful in various ways. When reviewing cases with a [trainee], it is quite easy to 'check' their scoring...when testifying in court, the rationale behind assigning a particular score to a given item is readily apparent...one does not have to search back through the record to remind oneself of the thinking behind a score."
—B. Thomas Gray, Ph.D.
Chief Psychologist, Competency Unit, North Texas State Hospital
"...highly focused...obtains the required information far more quickly...exceptually user-friendly and actually accelerates...mastery of the PCL-R...I strongly recommend this instrument..."
—F. Barton Evans, Ph.D.
Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science, George Washington Unive
