Synopsis

The concept of screening, and in particular multiphasic screening, is being introduced into medical practice. The subject is controversial and doubts have been expressed as to ils present applicability. This article is concerned with whether screening is appropriate for psychiatric disorder and is subdivided into a review of screening in general, the distribution of psychiatric disorder, psychiatric screening instruments, an outline of a psychiatric screening survey, and, finally, the evaluation of psychiatric screening.
