Structured interviews and self-report questionnaires being two methods used to assess personality disorders are discussed. The suggested structured interview instrument used during the clinical intake interview is the structured clinical interview for DSM 5 (SCID-5), and where personality disorder is detected, the structured clinical interview for personality disorder (SCID-5-PD) is used.
