Abstract
The STRUCTURED CLINICAL INTERVIEW (SCI) is a psychological technique for the detection and assessment of psychopathology. Its effective application requires an examiner who can combine the experimental with the clinical attitude. It is thus a tool for the pychologist because his training uniquely qualifies him for this role. Some supervised experience with the technique is of course necessary to assure common standards of judgment.
