PsychProfiler, by
Dr Shane Langsford, Dr Stephen Houghton and Dr Graham Douglas
The Psychprofiler (Langsford, Houghton, & Douglas, 2007) is a comprehensive screening tool for the simultaneous investigation of a large number of the most common disorders found in children, adolescents, and adults. The PsychProfiler consists of two separate, yet conceptually similar instruments; the Child and Adolescent PsychProfiler (CAPP) and the Adult PsychProfiler (APP). The PsychProfiler is constructed on well established diagnostic criteria from the DSM-IV-TR. The PsychProfiler is currently being utilised by a large number of Psychologists (e.g., General, Clinical, Educational, School), General Practitioners, Paediatricians, Psychiatrists and Mental Health Nurses throughout Australia.
PsychProfiler screens for:
- Anxiety disorders
- Attention-deficit disorders
