The AMDP -system (Arbeitsgemenschaft fur Methodic und Dokumentation in der Psychiatrie) consist of a psychopathology scale (100+15 items) and of a somatic scale (40+7 items), It is widely used in the German-speaking and French-speaking countries.

To describe the development and italian validation of the (AMDP), designed to assess psychopathology in psychiatric patients.

Method

Diagnosis of 125 patients were assessed according to DSM-IV using SCID (Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV) and AMDP.

To assess sensitivity to change, 24 patients were involved in a 4-week rehabilitation program and then reassessed at the end of 4 weeks.

To evaluate inter-rater reliability, all patients were assessed by two clinicians in a joint rater session.

Results

All AMDP-subscales showed significant improvement after 4-week rehabilitation program (P< 0.05).

Inter-rater eliability was substantial (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC > 0.70) in all subscales of AMDP.

Conclusions

The AMDP is a valid, reliable instrument to evaluate severity and treatment response in psychiatry. Given its simplicity, and clinical validity, AMDP is appropriate for use in observational studies and routine clinical practice.
