Factual Basis for Determining if Legal Standard for Competency is met (Psychopathology): Assessment choices: 1. Competency Assessment Instrument (CAI) consists of a semi-structured interview that provides the basis for 5-point Likert ratings on 13 functions (appraisal of available legal defenses, planning of legal strategy, capacity to self-testify relevantly). The CAI plays an important role in guiding the interview with an organized format. 2. Structured Interview of Reported Symptoms (SIRS-2) is highly reliable and highly used in psychological testing. 172-item structured interview that yield results on several scales that each represent a different strategy in detecting feigned symptoms of mental health disorders. When examiners are conducting competency evaluations for defendant’s that have a diagnosed mental disorder, it is very important that they are competent in all the areas of that specific mental disorder, schizophrenia for example, in order to understand the defendant’s behaviors/limited capacity/symptoms etc. A defendant diagnosed with schizophrenia will present very differently from a defendant with severe manic-depressive disorder.
