The MSBS was administered to 51 regressed neuropsychiatric patients in an eight‐month follow‐up study to determine its reliability over time. While lower than its original test‐retest reliability, the instrument maintains good predictability. In part, the lowered reliability could be accounted for by the natural course of the phenomenon of regression.
