SWAP-200
Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure 200 - deutsche Fassung
Short abstract
The SWAP-200 is a Q-Sort test that describes the persistent patterns of personality, intrapsychic and interpersonal functioning in health and pathology. SWAP-200 incorporates drive theory, object relationship theory and ego-psychology based psychoanalytic findings and current research on affect regulation, character pathology, relationship quality, cognitive functions and mental health. The SWAP-200 profile of an individual patient can be correlated in the evaluation on the one hand with the DSM-IV criteria of Axis II and on the other hand with empirically established prototypes. Thus, the final result is a categorical and dimensional diagnosis of the personality. The SWAP-200 comprises a set of 200 statements. Reliability: No data are available. Validity: The high correlation between prototype and a respective personality disorder proves the convergence validity. The low correlations between prototype and the different personality disorders speak for a high discriminative validity. In addition, item groupings with identical content could be replicated by means of a confirmatory factor-analytical procedure and also the same superordinate three- or four-factorial structure, thus reporting a sufficiently good criterion and construct validity.
