Extract

A large part of the data gathered in psychiatric and clinical psychological research consists of ratings carried out by various members of the clinical team. A set of clinical ratings consists essentially of a questionnaire that is completed by someone who is familiar with the patient. Data of this kind provide information about the way in which members of the clinical team think about their patients; but not necessarily about the ways in which the patients themselves actually behave, feel and think. One would of course expect to find a relationship between the two kinds of data, and both are of psychological interest.
