The method of evaluation we describe attempts to establish the criteria applied by clinicians when recommending psychoanalytical psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. A questionnaire was constructed and a study of inter-rater agreement using this research tool was carried out. The results of inter-rater agreement as well as the variations concerning each rater are discussed. Continuation of this study will provide the opportunity to examine the validity of general principles underlying the psychoanalysts’ perceptions of their patients.
This work is the result of a research programme established in 1985 by a group directed by D Widlöcher. We particularly want to thank Dr A Braconnier, Mme L Von Benedek, Mme S Delattre, Mme O Dufloux, Mme V Abel Prot who actively participated in this research which is still going on today.
