Abstract
A brief scale for evaluating depression, called Rimon's Brief Depression Scale, was developed using responses of 103 patients with primary or secondary depression. The validity of the scale was evaluated by comparing scores with those on Beck's Depression Scale. The results showed high reliability and concurrent validity and encourage the adoption of Rimon's scale in general psychological and medical practice.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
