This is not a validated clinical instrument and is meant to be used to guide the progress of therapy and to head off any problems at an early stage so that you get the best out of it. The range of scores is between. The range of scores is between 0 and 84 with the higher the score the better the therapy is going. A score of less than 42 overall, or any score of less than 3 on any item, should be considered a potential source of concern and discussed in your next session.

Important

Please treat your scores on these or any other online questionnaires with caution. Questionnaires cannot be used to make a diagnosis of a mental health condition. Where a mental health condition has been diagnosed by a suitably qualified and experienced health professional these questionnaires may be used as a guide to the current severity of your condition. Always consult with a qualified health professional if you are concerned in any way about your mental health.

If you are worried about your safety, you should immediately consult with your GP or another suitably qualified health professional. If you are in the UK the following numbers might be of help to you:
