정신과 진단의 신뢰도와 타당도 = Reliability and Validity in Psychiatric Diagnosis

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

By the early 1960s, there was a growing awareness among clinicians and researchers that the absence of objective and reliable systems for description of psychopathology and for psychiatric diagnosis was the major obstacle to valid identification of cases and effective communication. Psychiatrists relied heavily on categorical nosological approaches, in contrast to the dimensional methods employed in rating scales and personality inventory. The efforts to overcome these conflicts have led to the development of operational diagnostic criteria and the standardized diagnostic instruments. In this review, we explained the definition of reliability and validity, the sources of variance. The methods to evaluate reliability and to assess validity were also discussed.
