The Beck Depression Inventory

The BDI was first introduced in 1961, and it has been revised several times since (Beck et al., 1988). The BDI has been widely used as an assessment instrument in gauging the intensity of depression in patients who meet clinical diagnostic criteria for depressive syndromes. However, the BDI has also found a place in research with normal populations, where the focus of use has been on detecting depression or depressive ideation.

The Beck Depression Inventory, or BDI, presents a person with 21 questions that gauge their level of depressive symptoms including:

• mood
• negative outlook
• feelings of guilt
• self-dislike
• social withdrawal
• difficulty functioning
  
  
  

The Wave - a beautiful sandstone formation in northern Arizona, Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness

The Vermilion Cliffs are Arizona's Atlantis. They're a lost land, full of legends and mysteries, hard to reach and even harder to leave. The fortunate few who have been there come stumbling out of the wilderness raving about slot canyons that never end, freakish hoodoos, formations stretched like taffy and jagged rocks protruding from the sand like the spiny fin of some ancient beast lying in wait.
