There is a need for simple, flexible, easy-to-administer, and above all, brief structured interviews that can be used in the "real world" of clinical diagnosis and care. Of course, as I indicated in several letters to this journal, structured instruments are only one tool in our attempt to understand our patients. Achieving trust, rapport, and an empathic connection with the patient are always paramount in the therapeutic enterprise. --R. Pies MD Kudos to Dr. Aboraya on developing the SCIP!
