ICD 10 - 44
what were the results of people diagnosed with schizophrenia by the second psychologists with both of the books
DSM V- 13
ICD 10- 24

the study has low inter-rater reliability and low validity
what is citation validity
is when we ask ourselves if the assessments arrive at the same diagnosis by the same person
