I love it! I deal with adults, mostly in an EAP capacity in large organisations, so get the full spectrum of disorders and mental illness. I find the APP invaluable in early assessment, particularly where there might be comorbidity. My clients find it non-threatening and it enables them to be engaged with me early in their care plan and in the process of understanding and managing their difficulties. I find it doesn’t present equity issues and fear that can arise from psychometric testing. The APP is a great tool to articulate from, should the client require further testing. Its easy portability for on-site work with clients is also a major plus and the time-efficiency of this instrument is another feature. It is invaluable in my practice. No wonder the APP is destined for greater things
The validity and reliability checks were thorough, such as those pertaining to the readability of the CAPP and the triangulation method applied. What an invaluable contribution it is to the profession.

The careful development and testing of the self-report instrument provides the educational / clinical community with a very useful tool that can increase early sensitivity and overcomes previously existing problems in screening for morbidity.

I used the PP last week to really good effect …the responses gave me a great deal of material to work with, it gave me some really good questions to ask, and her explanations on why she put things were where the real gems were to be found.
