On the psychodiagnostic end, we have found Spanish versions the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory – 2 (available for purchase at www.upress.umn.edu/test-division/translations-permissions/available-translations) and Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-IV (available for purchase at www.pearsonclinical.com/psychology/products/100001362/millonsupsup-clinical-multiaxial-inventoryiv-mcmi-iv.html) useful with our younger patients, but more challenging with our older patients given their length and required level of literacy for completion. As an alternative to these longer questionnaires, we recommend the use of the Spanish-language Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (available for purchase at www.pearsonclinical.com/psychology/products/100000645/symptom-checklist-90-revised-scl-90-r.html), which measures a range of psychological disorders and related symptomatology. For patients with six years of education or less, a Spanish version of the Geriatric Depression Scale is recommended to assess depression (available at https://web.stanford.edu/~yesavage/Spanish5.html).
MDMA-assisted psychotherapy

Each client also completed the Symptom Checklist 90-Revised (as noted in their methods section), although these findings were unfortunately not described in the journal report (Mithoefer et al, 2011). However, around this time, at the ‘Breaking Convention’ Conference on MDMA-assisted psychotherapy held at the University of Kent, UK, I enquired about these SCL 90-R findings, and they were sent to me by one of the co-authors (see Parrott (2013a) for a summary of the main findings, also Doblin et al (2014) for a detailed commentary on my article (also Parrott, 2014)). The analyses sent to me showed that there were no significant effects with the overall SCL 90-R scale, while there were significant ANOVA effects with the anxiety and depression subscales. The ANOVA for the anxiety subscale revealed a significant time effect (over the four sessions, p<0.001), while the time x drug condition interaction was non-significant (p = 0.367), and drug condition was also non-significant. The MDMA group mean anxiety score reduced from 51.0 at baseline to 39.7 at two months, while the placebo group score reduced from 51.4 at baseline to 45.1 at two months. Hence the main finding was a significant reduction in anxiety with psychotherapy – irrespective of the drug condition. Clinical improvement had occurred under both MDMA and placebo.

The Symptom Checklist-90-Revised: This is a 90-item, self-report test which focuses on a variety of psychological issues and can also be used to identify true pain. A very high score on the checklist may indicate over-reporting of pain, a characteristic of malingered pain (McDermott and Feldman, 2009).

Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R) (52). Selected items from the SCL-90-R were abstracted to operationalize health outcomes. The SCL-90-R is a 90-item self-report questionnaire used to evaluate a wide range of symptoms of psychopathology. Items are rated on a 5-point scale (“not at all” through “extremely”) indicating how much that symptom has distressed or bothered the respondent within the past 7 days, including the day of administration. Symptoms were considered clinically relevant if rated “moderately” or higher. Sixteen items on the SCL-90-R and the PSQI global score (indicating sleep quality) were selected to reflect symptoms associated with postconcussional syndrome/disorder (37,53,54). Items were categorized for convenience as somatic, cognitive, or emotional. Seven health symptoms not anticipated to be the direct result of TBI were included to explore the specificity of PPCSs and compare findings with other studies that included them (15,31).

Mental health was ascertained with the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised(21), which is a measure of psychological status or psychosocial distress. It is a 90-item self-report symptom inventory that was originally developed for drug trials to assess the relative efficacy of psychotherapeutic agents. It has since been used in a wide range of settings and has been validated for the TBI populations(22). Participants were asked to self-report on 90 statements in terms of the amount of discomfort the problem had caused. For example, such as “feeling annoyed or irritated” and “crying easily.” Statements were rated on a 5-point Likert scale where 0 indicates “not at all” and 4 indicates “extremely.” Each item was rated on a 5-point scale of distress from 1 (none) to 5 (extremely). For the purpose of the study, only the Global Severity Index (GSI) was used. The total possible GSI score ranges from 90 to 450. Scores of about 224 are considered to be a cut off for clinically significant distress. However, some have suggested that scores of 174 be used as they are considered high above the general population mean. (21,23)

Symptom checklist-90-revised (SCL-90-R) is a 90-item self-report of subjects’ symptoms and psychopathologic features on subscales: paranoid ideation (PAR), interpersonal sensitivity (I-S), hostility (HOS), psychoticism (PSY), phobic anxiety (PHOB), anxiety (ANX), somatization (SOM), depression (DEP), obsessive-compulsive (O-C), additional (AD), and general symptoms (GSI). It is a measure of the current psychological symptom status with the time reference of “last 7 days, including today.” GSI is the average of 90 items. There is a scoring range from zero to four. The validity and reliability study of the Turkish version was conducted by Kılıç.16 Kılıç16 determined the reliability coefficients according to the subscales as follows: 0.82 for SOM; 0.84 for O-C; 0.79 for I-S; 0.78 for DEP; 0.73 for ANX; 0.79 for HOS; 0.78 for PHOB; 0.63 for PAR; 0.73 for PSY; 0.77 for AD. Half of the intermediate correlation values of SCL-90-R are above 0.61 and the other half is below 0.61. According to these findings, all values were found at p < .05 level. The validity of SCL-90-R was determined by the similar scales validity method and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) was taken as the criterion. Pearson correlation coefficients in the two scale tools show a change between 0.50 and 0.59 and 0.43 median value.
