Developed To Help You Diagnose Personality Disorders

The IPDE was developed within the Joint Program for the Diagnosis and Classification of Mental Disorders of the World Health Organization (WHO) and U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and is based on worldwide field trials. Each module (DSM-IV™ and ICD-10) contains an IPDE Screening Questionnaire and the IPDE Semistructured Interview.
