This chapter outlines core assessment tools used in evaluating psychosis within a symptom-based CBT framework. It reviews standardized measures—including PSYRATS, BPRS, CAINS, CAPE-42, the Neurological Evaluation Scale, and the Bush-Francis Catatonia Scale—highlighting their structure, utility, and relevance for diagnostic clarification, baseline mapping, and treatment planning. The chapter emphasizes the need for multidimensional assessment that incorporates positive symptoms, negative symptoms, neurological soft signs, comorbidities, and risk factors. By grounding assessment in validated instruments, clinicians can generate a precise clinical profile that enables targeted intervention and objective monitoring of therapeutic progress. Here, we outline common measures for psychosis, categorized based on principle of open-access and evidence-based approaches.

This chapter outlines core assessment tools used in evaluating psychosis within a symptom-based CBT framework. It reviews standardized measures—including PSYRATS, BPRS, CAINS, CAPE-42, the Neurological Evaluation Scale, and the Bush-Francis Catatonia Scale—highlighting their structure, utility, and relevance for diagnostic clarification, baseline mapping, and treatment planning. The chapter emphasizes the need for multidimensional assessment that incorporates positive symptoms, negative symptoms, neurological soft signs, comorbidities, and risk factors. By grounding assessment in validated instruments, clinicians can generate a precise clinical profile that enables targeted intervention and objective monitoring of therapeutic progress. Here, we outline common measures for psychosis, categorized based on principle of open-access and evidence-based approaches.
