We use the PSI in our clinic and I am also using it in a new psychotherapy RCT. It is easy for parents to complete and has good psychometric properties.  It only provides a few subscale scores. I would like more detail but it's good for what it intends to do. We just starting using the self efficacy measure Nick mentioned so I can't comment on it yet.

That doesn't mean that the PSI doesn't have value, however.  I would certainly take a look at it, particularly because it's widely used in the parenting literature (at least here in the States).
