Extract

This study looks at the use of individual scaling techniques, namely the Personal Questionnaire Rapid Scaling Technique (PQRST) to monitor symptom change during a social skills group. This augments the more familiar observational measures and self report questionnaires. The results suggest that these individual questionnaires may be useful to clarify social interaction difficulties and the process of change in social skills training.
