New Resources for Collecting Psychological Conditions Information

摘要

The report summarizes information about procedures personnel security investigators uses to collect relevant mental health information, outlines current laws and professional guidelines related to the release of such information, and describes difficulties faced by personnel security investigators when collecting this information. Research staff worked with the American Psychiatric Association to develop a resource document that should be useful for mental health care providers for understanding and cooperating with investigators' interview requests. The resource document is available on the Internet at http://www.psych. org/edu/other(underline)res/ lib(underline)archives/200602.pdf and could be a useful addition to investigators' resource materials.
