psychopathology schizophrenia

This measure is used to rate everyday functioning in individuals with schizophrenia-spectrum conditions. The Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP) provides a brief clinician-rated profile of current personal and social functioning across key domains.

It consists of 4 items and typically takes about 1 minutes to complete. Ratings focus on observable performance in areas such as socially useful activities, interpersonal relationships, self-care, and disruptive or aggressive behaviors, supporting clinical documentation and tracking of change over time.
