[Multicentre rating of a delusional patient with help of the AMDP scale].

A videotaped interview of a delusional patient was evaluated by 33 French, Swiss and Belgian raters. The inverse factor analysis of the raters and multivariate indexes demonstrate in this single case study that the interrater reliability depends on: a) the general training of the raters in psychopathology; b) their knowledge of the AMDP System; c) a comprehensive understanding of the psychopathology of the patient; d) AMDP concepts; e) the interview technique (this latter deficiency may be corrected by a semi-structured interview.

[A semi-structured psychopathological interview conceived for the AMDP-3 scale and time-blind evaluation of videotapes (author's transl)].

In the process of adapting the German AMDP Psychopathology Scale into French and of analyzing its interrater-reliability, free AMDP interviews were tape-recorded and played back. It became rapidly evident that such interviews are incompatible with a comprehensive and reliable evaluation of psychopathology: the collected information is incomplete and variable from one interviewer to the other and even from one interview to the other by the same interviewer, which is particularly invalidating in case of video ratings. The present semi-structured interview is based on 140 videotaped recordings of non-psychiatric patients, of depressives and psychotics. Formulation of questions is seldom imperative; their sequence is only suggested and may be modified according to the interviewer's style and to the patient's pathology. Have been avoided questions too dependent on setting (community, hospital) or likely to disclose the first-interview or retest nature of the recording, thus allowing time-blind evaluations. The mean duration of the interview is 28 mn (less than 30 mn in 70% of the cases) for 126 items.

[Automated treatment of Rorschach data (author's transl)].

Apart from automated systems analysing Rorschach data, one can develop with the computer other systems aimed as a research instrument. Selection, definition and coding of informations permit not only its memorisation, but also the analysis according to various mathematical methods. Tabulation and frequence analyses are facilitated, while other analyses (discrimination analysis, inverse factor analysis, covariance analysis) are made possible. The collaboration psychologist--mathematician--computer specialist open interesting avenues.

[Evidence of different psychological profiles in sexual impotence (author's transl)].

The homogeneity of personality in patients suffering from psychogenic impotency has never been tested. In order 1. to test the homogeneity of the population and 2. to delineate putative prognostic scores, the authors have applied inverse factorial analysis to MMPI and Rorschach performed in a group of 100 patient suffering from "psychogenic impotence". The results obtained evidenced an heterogeneity in the group, subgroups may differ as far as prognostic is concerned.

[Severe neuropsychic disturbances in a young adolescent treated with an endocrine therapy].

After a treatment based on the administration of gonadotropic drugs, aimed at reduced school difficulties and caracterial difficulties by a premature onset of puberty, a young male aged 13 1/2 presents: 1 degree somatic anomalies; 2 degrees increase of intellectual, affective and behavioral troubles; 3 degrees perturbations of EEG prophiles; 4 degrees organicity tests significantly disturbed. The interruption of treatment (4 years of observation) was followed by a progressive remission, however heterogenous, of all initial troubles. The observation underlines the dangers of utilising these treatments in a pre-puberty boy.
