All versions of PSYCHLOPS (Adult, Teen and Kids) are now available on this website. Many users had requested format edits so that PSYCHLOPS could be adapted for their own service or research requirements. Users are welcome to change the format. However, amendments may require further validation and reliability studies. Any publications using amended versions should document the amendments.
