“…The feasibility of computer interviews has been well established and this approach has been used for a variety of clinical applications (Butcher, Perry, & Atlis, in press;Erdman, Klein, & Greist, 1985;Farrell, 1991Farrell, , 1997Hedlund et al, 1981). Erdman et al noted that computer interviews are reliable in that they always ask the questions they are supposed to, may make clients feel less embarrassed or uncomfortable because they do not respond to the clients' answers to sensitive questions, and provide a complete record of responses.…”

This study evaluated the validity of the Computerized Assessment System for Psychotherapy Evaluation and Research (CASPER), a system that identifies target problems and monitors treatment outcomes. Preand posttreatment data were obtained from 78 clients and their therapists in an outpatient training clinic. CASPER scales were significantly correlated with the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and with therapist ratings on the Global Assessment Scale (GAS) at both intake and posttreatment. These measures also showed significant pre-to posttreatment changes. The largest effect sizes were found on CASPER individualized outcome measures. Residual change scores and posttreatment improvement ratings derived from CASPER were significantly correlated with BSI and GAS change scores. There was moderate agreement between clients' and therapists' ratings; clients tended to rate their functioning higher than did therapists on several CASPER scales.

“…This paper will discuss lessons learned from the development and use of this public domain software in VA settings. The experience in the VA complements and extends observations made earlier on the use of software by clinicians both in mental health and other disciplines (Hedlund et al, 1981). Both barriers to and facilitating factors for implementa-robe^ M. Kolodner 3 tion and adoption of mental health software will be identified as part of this review.…”

“…Unfortunately, although we first thought that the applications would be "just around the corner," it has been a far more enterprising and tedious process to develop clinical applications than was first thought. There have been several excellent reviews of applications in mental health including some analyses of the problems associated with implementing these systems (Greist & Klein, 1981;Hedlund et al, 1981;Lieff, 1987;Schwarlz, 1984;Sidowski, Johnson, & Williams, 19801. Many of the applications reported in these reviews were implemented at single sites or were developed in a research environment. Relatively few computer applications were used in the day-to-day care of patients at multiple facilities (Glueck, 1974;Hedlund et al, 1981;Laska, 1976).…”

“…There are many new computerized gadgets that can be very helpful for the geriatric patient (Stein, 1986;Harris & Harken, 1983;Hedlund et al, 1981;Webster, Cook, Tompkins, & Vanderheiden, 1985). One of the critical areas of concern for the geriatric psychiatrist is the issue of monitoring a different patient at home.…”

The dramatic explosion of scientific information, as well as the development of computerized devices in medicine, will continue to change both the diagnosis and treatment of the elderly as it changes our entire culture. There are many technological forces now combining to push the frontiers of knowledge about the brain to new levels. This article outlines these new scientific and technological frontiers in psychiatric diagnosis including: diagnostic imaging, computer EEG, and psychiatric evaluation; treatment including health-related computerized aids, computerized psychopharmacology, neuropsychiatric training for handicapped and brain-injured, and chronic care; and medical education. This article discusses some of the issues that arise due to these new developments. Computers have multiplied the kinds of questions that can be meaningfully asked. In this way, the advent of the computer has opened the minds of many researchers to new frontiers. An important question is, “What will the psychiatric ‘state of the art’ be in a technological age?” Other issues include confidentiality with new devices, use of high technology to define malpractice liability, the lack of professional standards in software, the resistance of medical profession to computers, and the increased ability to misuse statistics. Geriatric psychiatrists must take an active role in planning the future impact of high technology in our field.
