Details

Our clients count on our tests because they cover important factors that influence post-surgery adjustment, compliance with the program and likelihood of relapse. Namely, SWLPS screens for anxiety and depressive disorders, suicidal tendencies, substance and drug use - all significant risk factors. It also evaluates aspects where other standardized tests fall short, such as the person's emotional strength and the type of coping techniques most often used to deal with stress and change, which is paramount to successful adjustment to a new lifestyle. In addition, the test assesses compliance and self-motivation - factors that play into the patient's ability to stick with the program. Additional Tests (see left) allow for further pre-/post-operative testing per each clinic's discretion.
