Abstract

Assessment of the variations of clinical course to aid in diagnosis, assessment of patients' functioning and to guide treatment planning has gained momentum in recent years. A specific scale is introduced to plot the temporal course to assist empirically-minded psychotherapists and researchers who treat the DSM-5 Disorders and who want to monitor the quality of the course of psychosocial functioning over time. A Timeline Course Graphing Scale to Chart the Quality of Psychosocial Functioning Affected by Symptom Severity (PFS) is described and accompanied by administration guidelines.
