THE SaLTFil QUESTIONNAIRE
developed by Dr. Leon Harmond
These questions are meant as a guide for prolonged interviews.
When answering each of these questions, the patient should be
asked not to consider instances where their behavior or physical
state was influenced by intoxicants. Answers should elaborate
beyond a yes or no answer to include an idea of the frequency
of each instance's occurrence.
- Does the patient have trouble differentiating between objects
which are considered real, and objects which are considered representations
of real objects? Does the patient reach for "representations"
as readily as to "real" objects?
- Does the patient suffer from hallucinations?
-
- Does the patient avoid exposure to the sun?
- When exposed to the sun, does the patient become increasingly
incoherent?
- Does the patient confuse colors?
- Does the patient complain of "lost time"? i.e. Has the patient
ever found themselves somewhere, without knowing how they got
there?
- When entering a room is electrical equipment effected by the patient's
presence?
- Does the patient complain of "painless" headaches?
-
- Does the patient claim an ability to hear the thoughts of others
or "read minds"?
- Does the patient feel as if they are able to leave their body?
