Self-Loathing Subscale Questionnaire (SLSS) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is a brief self-report tool designed to assess self-directed negative attitudes and feelings. The Self-Loathing Subscale Questionnaire (SLSS), developed by Paul Gilbert, is intended to help identify clinically relevant self-criticism or self-disgust that may be associated with distress and maladaptive coping.
The questionnaire consists of 8 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Scores may be used to inform case formulation and to monitor change over time, and the Self-Loathing Subscale Questionnaire (SLSS) is best interpreted in conjunction with clinical interview findings and other validated measures.
