The Derogatis Psychiatric Rating Scale (DPRS) instrument, formerly known as the Hopkins Psychiatric Rating Scale, is a multidimensional psychiatric rating scale provided by NCS. The DPRS was designed for use with the SCL-90-R® instrument or BSI® self-report instruments. It is often used to validate patients' self-reports.
Designed for use by clinicians trained in psychopathology, the DPRS instrument enables the clinician to rate his or her observations of a patient's psychological symptomatic distress on the same nine primary dimensional scales as the SCL-90-R and BSI instruments. With the DPRS instrument, the clinician can also rate the patient on eight additional dimensions that are important to accurate clinical assessment but that are not amenable to patient self-report.
