The Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure (SWAP-200) is a psychological assessment tool for personality diagnosis and clinical case formulation developed by psychologists (Jonathan Shedler ) and Drew Westen. SWAP-200 is completed by a mental health professional, such as a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist, after developing a thorough knowledge of a patient or client in a professional treatment or assessment context. Because SWAP-200 is completed by clinicians and not patients, diagnostic findings do not depend on the accuracy of information provided by patients, nor can test results be faked. The SWAP instruments are based on over 16 years of empirical research and have been described in more than 100 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals. SWAP-200 has been translated into fourteen languages. Other versions of SWAP include the revised SWAP-II and the SWAP-II-A for adolescents. SWAP-200 is used by clinical practitioners to identify core psychological issues in psychotherapy, for personality disorder diagnosis, by forensic mental health professionals in civil and criminal cases, and by agencies of the United States federal government for assessment of personnel for sensitive positions such as those requiring access to classified information. == Scoring and Interpretation == SWAP-200 comprises 200 personality-descriptive items or statements, each of which may describe a given person well, somewhat, or not at all. The assessor sorts or ranks the statements into eight categories, from most descriptive of the person (scored 7) to not descriptive or irrelevant (scored 0). SWAP-200 items are written in jargon-free language ("Tends to express anger in passive and indirect ways; may make mistakes, procrastinate, forget, become sulky, etc.") and provide a "standard vocabulary" for clinical case description that is relevant to clinicians of all theoretical orientations. The SWAP instrument is based on the Q-sort method, a psychometric method designed to maximize reliability and minimize error variance. When the assessor completes the scoring procedure, software-based scoring algorithms compute and graph 37 diagnostic scales organized into three score profiles. The diagnostic scales are expressed as T-scores (Mean=50, SD=10). The score profiles provide: * DSM-5 personality disorder diagnoses, * (personality diagnoses for alternative, empirically-derived personality syndromes ) * dimensional trait scores The National Security Edition of SWAP-200, developed in collaboration with agencies of the United States federal government, includes the Dispositional Indicators of Risk Exposure (DIRE) scale for security risk assessment, developed to assess the potential for high-risk or destructive behavior among personnel employed in, or being evaluated for, sensitive positions such as those requiring access to classified information. When a SWAP-200 assessment is conducted in the context of psychotherapy, the instrument may be scored by the clinician after a minimum of six clinical contact hours. In research, forensic, personnel, and other assessment contexts, SWAP-200 can be scored on the basis of the ''Clinical Diagnostic Interview'' (CDI), a systematic version of the kind of interviewing that skilled clinicians engage in to assess personality during the initial hours of patient contact. The interview can be completed in approximately 2 1/2 hours. SWAP can also be scored reliably on the basis of other, comparably psychologically rich interview sources. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SWAP-200」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
