What Does the Brief Symptom Inventory Measure in College and University Counseling Center Clients?

Hayes, Jeffrey A.

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v44 n4 p360-67 Oct 1997

Examines the reliability and validity of the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). Results based on 2,078 clients at 31 university counseling centers who completed the BSI at intake indicate that, although internal consistency for the subscales was high, factor analyses yielded a six-factor solution rather than a nine-factor one.
