[Evaluation of pathogenic events in psychiatric patients using the anamnestic fiches of the AMDP system].

Numerous studies have confirmed the importance of recent "life events" in triggering a psychiatric episode, whereas the so-called predisposing effect of past events is less well known. The present study analyzes the results of a retrospective documentation of the AMDP anamnestic forms in hospitalized patients. In order to avoid the influence of the evolution of psychopathology in itself, only first episode patients were included. The sociodemographic data and the life events were analyzed separately for three diagnostic groups: schizophrenias, neurotic/reactive depressions, nondepressed neurotics. The most significant result was the loss of a parent before 15 years of age in the group of depressed patients; this difference was confirmed by matching the groups for age sex, marital status and profession.

[1st results of the DiaSiKa diagnostic system].

Clinical diagnoses of 61 psychiatric in-patients were compared with diagnoses obtained from the French version of a computer system for psychiatric diagnosis (DiaSiKa) based on the AMDP-rating scale. The concordance between diagnoses was comparable to the German original version of the diagnostic system. Its usefulness and practical advantages in psychiatric research are discussed.

[French translation of the Frankfurt Complaint Questionnaire (Frankfurter Beschwerde-Fragebogen, FBF, Süllwold, 1986)].

Observable behaviors play the predominant role in the clinical assessment of schizophrenia, while only secondary emphasis is placed on exclusively subjective complaints. Huber employed the phenomenological approach to obtain subjective symptoms that he named "basic symptoms". Subjective symptoms constitute an important component of the schizophrenic symptomatology. They may play a predominant role during the prodromal or early phases of the disease, they may be useful in elucidating cognitive and perceptual disturbances in schizophrenia. In the last decade, the assessment of patients' subjective experiences has acquired significance with the development of several instruments for their specific evaluation. The Frankfurt Complaint Questionnaire (FCQ, Süllwold, 1986) is the instrument most widely used in Europe for assessing subjective experiences. It covers a wide range of complaints of cognitive deficits that Süllwold compiled from the complaints of schizophrenic patients. We present the French translation of the FCQ. The availability of the FCQ in French could be an important step in promoting the study of subjective experiences in research and clinical activities.
