The purpose of this project is to develop and validate two psychometric instruments based on the Edgar Cayce material. The CCSI consists of a wide variety of signs and symptoms of physical and emotional distress. Individuals taking the CCSI are asked to rate the presence of the sign or symptom during the past twelve months.
Some items are retrospective, requiring information preceding the previous twelve month period.
Based on the responses, the CCSI calculates scores for each scale. The CCSI is intentionally designed to serve as an educational tool for understanding the Cayce approach to anatomy and physiology. The various scales correspond to sections of a typical Cayce physical reading. Working with the CCSI will make the Cayce health readings more accessible with regard to the language and conceptual basis of Cayce's perspective. The ATLI is based primarily on the philosophy of Edgar Cayce.
