[Interpretation/Special Indices] Special Indices

Aliases

• special indices
• constellations
• composite indices

Definition

Special Indices gathers composite constellations built from multiple protocol variables. Each index does not replace clinical interpretation; instead it works as an actuarial screen that helps decide which areas need priority review.

Interpretation

• PTI points to problems in thinking and mediation.
• DEPI organizes an alert around depressive features.
• CDI summarizes vulnerability in coping resources and interpersonal effectiveness.
• SCON, HVI, and OBS point toward internal risk, hypervigilance, and obsessive style.

Cautions

• No special index should be treated as an automatic diagnosis.
• Constellations can produce false positives or miss individual cases.
• It is always necessary to return to the base variables that feed the index.

Cross References

• These indices are screening shortcuts, not substitutes for domain-based reading.
• They should be reconsidered in light of Ideation, Affect, Interpersonal, and Self Perception.
