Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To outline the utility of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) in the diagnosis of psychosis. METHOD: Report current situation. RESULTS: The CIDI was designed as a fully structured interview to be used by lay interviewers. It generates false positive diagnoses in community surveys and false negative diagnoses in psychiatric settings. A new psychosis module has been developed to reduce these problems. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of psychosis by fully structured diagnostic interviews is difficult.
