Background: The Standard for Clinicians’ Interview in Psychiatry (SCIP) is a new valid and reliable diagnostic interview with dimensional output (1–2). The psychosis module of the SCIP has 18 symptoms and signs representing the core symptoms and signs of schizophrenia (delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized thoughts). The total psychosis score (TPS) is measured by the sum of the hallucinations, delusions, and disorganization dimensions. There is a lack of consensus on how to define the remission, response, and exacerbation of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders and there is an urgent need to assess the response to antipsychotic medications using a dimensional model. |
