A structured "present state" interview has been developed and tested. As used by five trained interviewers the provisional categorizations made are reliable and so are most of the clinical scores. The advantage of the procedure is that it is based on clinical practice and experience, but introduces a degree of standardization and precision which suggests that more of the diagnostic process might be brought under control with obvious benefit to clinical practice and research.
