Trauma and Attachment Belief Scale (TABS)

Trauma Assessment Inventories

Psychiatric Diagnostic Screening Questionnaire (PDSQ)

Here is an easy-to-use, reliable test of posttraumatic stress and other psychological sequelae of traumatic events, such as rape, spouse abuse, physical assault, combat, major accidents, natural disasters, and childhood abuse.

The TSI includes 100 items on 10 clinical scales, under 3 broad categories of distress–Trauma, Self, and Dysphoria. These scales are:

In addition, 3 validity scales assess the respondent’s tendency to deny symptoms commonly endorsed by others, to overendorse unusual or bizarre symptoms, and to respond in an inconsistent or random manner. The inclusion of 12 Critical Items helps you identify problems that may require immediate intervention–such as suicidal ideation, substance abuse, psychosis, and self-mutilation.

The TSI can be completed in about 20 minutes by any adult who can read at a 5th-grade level. Norms are based on a nationally representative sample of more than 800 adults from the general population and more than 3,500 Navy recruits. They are separated by sex and by age (18 to 54 and 55+ years), making the TSI appropriate for all adult sex-by-age combinations.

The TSI has demonstrated 90% accuracy in predicting PTSD in an independently assessed sample. Used with a psychiatric inpatient sample, the scale correctly identified 89% of those patients independently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. Quick, reliable, and easy-to-use, the TSI is a cost-effective way to evaluate acute and chronic posttraumatic symptoms.
