Abstract:
This study evaluates the usefulness of a modified version of "AMDP Interview Guidance", the established German instrument in simple language for psychopathological examination. A total of 19 patients with intellectual disabilities underwent psychopathological examination with the help of the original version of the AMDP interview guidance, a modified version and a free, non-standardised and the three versions were assessed. With the original version of the AMDP interview guidance, 50% of the patients with intellectual disabilities were able to answer in a proper way and delivered an appropriate result for the psychopathological assessment. Of the remaining patients 85-90% could handle the questions of the modified version with success. The modified version of the AMDP interview guidance in simple language seems to contribute to a better psychopathological examination compared with the original version. Further studies with a statistically appropriate number of patients need to be carried out in the future.
