Klein, Daniel N.; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v57 n1 p106-11 Feb 1989

Evaluated validity of General Behavior Inventory (GBI) in screening outpatients for chronic unipolar and bipolar affective conditions. Administered GBI to 492 patients; selected and administered blind structured diagnostic interviews to 167 patients. Unipolar depressives were followed up 6 months after initial evaluation. GBI exhibited fair-to-good positive predictive power and good-to-excellent negative predictive power. (Author/NB)
