17 Questions

[billy2]

Went for my meeting with my psychologist today. In the middle of our hour together he gave me a questionaire to fill out if I didn't mind. Seventeen questions to be rated from 1 to 5. One being rated as not at all to 5 being all the time. He had a name for this form, he called it L--- something, can't recall, that should be number question 18. Well I scored a 74 and he said the higher your score the more distressed you are. If you scored a 10 you should be on the beach somewhere. I'm not sure what to think about this whole thing.

Found this on the va site - could be the questionare - Clinician administered ptsd scale (CAPS). The CAPS 17-item Life Event Checklist may be administered as a preliminary means of identifying exposure to different traumatic events.
