Borderline diagnosis from hospital records. Reliability and validity of Gunderson's Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines (DIB). 1985

B A Armelius, and G Kullgren, and E Renberg

Two trained and experienced clinical psychologists and two nontrained students rated the sections in Gunderson's Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines (DIB) on the basis of hospital records for 16 patients (DIB-R). The results showed that both reliability and validity, i.e., correlations with an actual interview, were unexpectedly high, around .80 for the trained judges and around .55 for the nontrained judges. The conclusion is that the DIB may be used for retrospective diagnosis of borderline patients from hospital records.
