The history and description of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-HI-R Personality Disorders (SCID-II) is presented. The SCID-II is a clinician-administered semistructured interview for diagnosing the 11 Axis II personality disorders of the Diagnostic and Statistical Menual of Mental Disorders (3rd ed., rev.), plus the Appendix category self-defeating personality disorder. The SCID-II is unique in that it was designed with the primary goal of providing a rapid clinical assessment of personality disorders without sacrificing reliability or validity. It can be used in conjunction with a self-report personality questionnaire, which allows the interview to focus only on the items corresponding to positively endorsed questions on the questionnaire, thus shortening the administration time of the interview.
