The Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for DSM-5, Child and
Parent Versions, are the gold standard semi-structured interviews
used in clinical research and services to assess and diagnose the
major mental health conditions affecting children, adolescents and
young adults. These interviews cover the range of conditions
identified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM), while also providing information for careful case
formulation in treatment planning and evaluation of outcomes.
Evaluators are able to quantify the severity of illness using a
Clinician Severity Rating (CSR), as well as level of severity of
symptoms and associated avoidance behavior. Decision rules for
combining parent and youth reports, examples of CSR levels for the
child anxiety triad of separation anxiety disorder, social anxiety
disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder are included in the
Clinician Guide, as well as detailed information on use of the
Autism Supplement. This item includes one Clinician Manual.
For many years, anxiety and phobie disorders ofchildhoodand
adolescence were ignored by clinicians and researchers alike. They
were viewed as largely benign, as problems that were relatively
mild, age-specific, and transitory. With time, it was thought, they
would simply disappear or "go away"-that the child or adolescent
would magically "outgrow" them with development and that they would
not adversely affect the growing child or adolescent. As a result
ofsuch thinking, it was concluded that these "internalizing"
problems were not worthy or deserving of our concerted and careful
attention-that other problems of childhood and adolescence and, in
particular, "externalizing" problems such as conduct disturbance,
oppositional defiance, and attention-deficit problems de manded our
professional energies and resources. These assumptions and asser
tions have been challenged vigorously in recent years. Scholarly
books (King, Hamilton, & Ollendick, 1988; Morris &
Kratochwill, 1983) have documented the considerable distress and
misery associated with these disorders, while reviews ofthe
literature have demonstrated that these disorders are anything but
transitory; for a significant number of youth these problems
persist into late adolescence and adulthood (Ollendick & King,
1994). Clearly, such findings signal the need for treatment
programs that "work"--programs that are effective in the short term
and efficacious over the long haul, producing effects that are
durable and generalizable, as weil as effects that enhance the life
functioning of children and adolescents and the families that
evince such problems."
