I have some passages where participants wrote about a trauma they had experienced within their life (it could be recent or during childhood).  I want a scale that I can use to score the trauma severity of the event they are describing (i.e. death of a close family member would be rated as worse then having a minor accident).

I know there is the Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) but from my reading this tool is heavily criticised.  Any suggestions? It needs to be something that I can use to code the text, not an interview schedule or self-report Q
