Abstract：Unlike the biomedical variables, there are no standards or means to evaluate the psychosocial variables. More than 20 years ago, an international research team developed the diagnostic criteria for psychosomatic research (DCPR), and more than 10 years ago， a standardized structured interview tool was published. Recently the DCPR was revised by the research team, to be matched, they revised the structured interview tool into a new semistructured interview tool which called DCPR-R-SSI. The semi-structured interview tool and its application will be introduced in this article.
