To investigate interrater reliability on categorical and dimensional judgements of personality disorder, five clinicians different judgement tasks for each of 10 case vignettes. The variability estimates support previously unconfirmed statements that dimensional judgements are substantially more reliable than categorical diagnoses.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
