Abstract

Summary The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAS) was administered to 51 patients with anxiety neurosis along with an independent criterion of severity. Each item from the HAS was significantly correlated with severity, and those items with the highest correlations were combined to form new anxiety scales. These scales were then used on a new group of 27 patients suffering from anxiety neurosis. All the new scales had better correlations with severity than the full HAS. The six-item scale was selected as being the most suitable to be a new Clinical Anxiety Scale.
