Moss-PAS (Diag ID) – Dr Steve Moss (Spiral Bound)

A Semi-Structured Clinical Interview for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities Producing Full ICD-11 and DSM-5 Diagnoses

The Moss-PAS (Diag ID) is semi-structured clinical interview with separate sets of questions for patients and informants. It is primarily designed for people who have enough language to give at least some verbal contribution to an interview, but can also be used as an informant-only interview. It has been developed from the well-known PAS-ADD 10 psychiatric interview and PAS-ADD Clinical Interview, but has been completely updated and re-designed on the basis of more than twenty five years’ experience of training users around the world. The Moss-PAS (Diag ID) is probably the most sophisticated patient interview that is globally available for people with intellectual disability, and for those who have limited language skills. It is also suited to research studies, and for any routine clinical assessment requiring a precise evaluation of symptoms. The interview produces criterion-by-criterion diagnoses under both ICD 11 and DSM-5. The score form has been designed to make it clear, not just the criteria that have been fulfilled, but also those that are close to it. This makes the process of clinical interpretation easier, and based on firm clear evidence.
