Evaluation of Depression in Children and Adolescents Using Diagnostic Clinical Interviews

  • Chapter
Handbook of Depression in Children and Adolescents

Part of the book series: Issues in Clinical Child Psychology ((ICCP))

Abstract

This chapter will describe five of the most widely used diagnostic interviews and present psychometric data relevant to depression. In addition, a clinician-rated scale that is widely used in depression research—i. e., the Children’s Depression Rating Scale (CDRS) (Poznanski, Cook, & Carroll, 1979)—will be reviewed because it is often used in conjunction with these structured interviews.
