We have many translations available for download. It has come to our attention that several of the translated versions have changed the order and some content of the scale items. This may make the order and content of the subscales unreliable. We caution anyone who is using translated versions and who wishes to make use of the subscales to make certain that the order and content of the items match the original English version
