Abstract

The AMDP-System has been developed in Europe by the Association for Methodology and Documentation in Psychiatry the standardised documentation of psychiatric files and for the measurement of change in drug trials. It is increasingly used in the French-speaking and German-speaking countries by clinical psychopharmacologists for teaching classical German psychopathological concepts to students and for the multicentre and multifactorial evaluation of drug changes. The AMDP-System consists of three anamnestic forms and of two comprehensive rating scales on present psychopathology (100 items+ write-in items) and somatic complaints (40 items+write-in items).
