✦ Synopsis

The case-finding performances of three operationalized systems for identifying phobic disorder in the elderly (Geriatric Mental State (A) (GMSA)/AGECAT; DSM-111; Phobic Disorders Screen (PDS)) were compared in a sample of clients of a local authority community care service. There was considerable variation in the 1-month prevalence rates (3.6%25.6%) according to the different criteria, and the concordances between various levels of case definition in the diagnostic systems demonstrated that this variation was due principally to different hierarchical diagnostic rules and severity criteria, including differing assumptions and expectations as to what constitutes a phobic disorder in old age.
