[Research with a complaint questionnaire for healthy persons and neurotic patients]

This is a report of experience obtained with the use of complaint questionnaires introduced by Kasielke, Möbius, and Scholze. The persons available to us in this study included 460 normal subjects and 180 patients diagnosed and treated on an outpatient basis. Results to date indicate that a complaint questionnaire may be of use to a clinical psychologist in the individual determination of the nature of disease, if the data contained in the questionnaire is evaluated and analyzed critically. This is true especially for its use as a screening test for the recognition of neurosis within the framework of preventive examinations.
