Summary
The present study examines the psychometric properties of a brief diagnostic instru-ment for the posttraumatic stress disorder, called the Self Rating Scale for PTSD (SRS-PTSD). The SRS-PTSD can be regarded as a good alternative for the Structu-red Interview for PTSD (SI-PTSD), especially at sites with limited clinical resources.
