A Note on Clinical
Questionnaires Questionnaires
may help to provide clarification of a person’s medical, neurological,
and emotional past history, especially if extensive (e.g., because of age) and
complicated (e.g., because of multiple medical conditions). Under the right circumstances,
they can be useful in the evaluation process. Questionnaires and charts may help
to organize, may provide valuable information on past treatment efforts, and
document the characteristic time course of certain symptoms. By nature, questionnaires
are ancillary; they never replace a thorough patient-physician interview.
