The psychometric properties of the Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale, administered in a crisis residential mental health treatment setting, were investigated. Analyses indicated that Cronbach alpha reliabilities were very good compared to published research from inpatient and outpatient settings. Univariate and multivariate covariance analyses provided evidence supporting validity in terms of sensitivity to change during treatment and concurrent validity. Evidence supported the contention that women were more honest and realistic in their self-assessments but also that crisis residence treatment was efficacious for both sexes
