Comprehensive Psychological
and Health
History (CPHH)

The CPHH is a comprehensive history form designed to be administered or self completed by any client where there is a need to take or review a history. Clients when initially self reporting can take their own time and consult documentation and family members if necessary. Once completed, the form can be reviewed in advance of consultation for any specific areas which require further discussion. In legal cases, where relevant and important matters are left out, this can be demonstrated to be an omission of the client rather than the history taker - in case later this is disputed. The questionnaire covers a broad range of collateral histories not all of which are likely to be relevant to a particular client. The CPHH comes on a floppy disk in Microsoft Word™ and can be edited in advance to suit the individual client. Where collateral informants are available, parts of the CPHH can be administered or self reported by such informants in respect of the client being assessed.



Where the CPHH is used in legal cases, the client is asked to read and sign and forensic briefing statement to the effect that what they disclose is the truth. They realise the consequences of providing misleading information. They agree to mark with "C" any section where they wish to voluntarily withhold information as Confidential. This section should be reviewed and signed at interview and will apply to the PAL history as questionnaire, further consultation, and good faith responding on psychological tests.

The CPHH is a restricted psychological instrument designed only to be used by qualified psychological practitioners. Purchase provides a lifetime license for use by any particular individual. Further distribution or sale is expressly forbidden.
