CADSS
Clinician-Administered Dissociative States Scale (CADSS)
The CADSS is a clinical assessment tool for measuring the intensity of dissociative symptoms, such as depersonalization, derealization, and amnesia, specifically within a semi-structured interview. It is commonly administered by the clinician in experimental or clinical situations, particularly with patients suffering from trauma- and stressor-related disorders.

Scoring & interpretation
Each item is rated on a scale from 0 to 4 according to severity. The scores are summed to provide a total score, with a higher score indicating more marked dissociation. Three subscales can also be distinguished: depersonalization, derealization, and amnesia.
