Abstract
Assessments of depression based on patients' self-reports and clinical interview ratings were compared for two different samples. Relationships between these two sources of information were examined. Concordances were only moderate and there were some systematic discrepancies suggesting the existence of self-report response sets and psychiatric rater biases. The findings are interpreted to support the value of the use of multiple assessments.
