Abstract
The Hopkins Symptom Checklist-21 (HSCL-21) was administered to 141 psychotherapy clients attending for their first visit at an outpatient psychology department. Some preliminary normative data is provided along with support for the reliability and validity of the HSCL-21 with a clinical sample. The HSCL-21 showed sensitivity to change over the course of psychotherapy. Due to its brevity, it may be preferable to longer symptom-distress measures for repeated measurement in monitoring, client progress over therapy.

It is concluded that interpreting nine dimensions of the Symptom Check List for clinical purposes is highly questionable and perhaps still a better measure of general distress as was intended in its original version approximately three decades ago.
