Description
Summary:The Examination of Anomalous Self-Experience (EASE) is a symptom checklist for semistructured, phenomenological exploration of experiential or subjective anomalies that may be considered as disorders of basic or ‘minimal’ self-awareness. The EASE is developed on the basis of self-descriptions obtained from patients suffering from schizophrenia spectrum disorders. The scale has a strong descriptive, diagnostic, and differential diagnostic relevance for disorders within the schizophrenia spectrum. This version contains interview-specific issues and psychopathological item descriptions (Manual), a scoring sheet (Appendix A), a reminder list of items for use during the interview (Appendix B) and an EASE/ BSABS (“Bonner Skala für die Beurteilung von Basissymptomen”) item comparison list (Appendix C).
