title: [Two psychosis-specific test systems (author's transl)].
abstract: Psychopathological procedures for assessment of severity of mental disorders will often be applied in follow-up studies of drugs. Their application can be performed relatively economically because the nosological and syndromal allocation of patients has usually been accomplished before the measurement of severity. In order to facilitate and establish economy, empirically testable conceptions on the relationship between the severity of the psychic disorder in question and the results of measurement are to be favoured. In addition they help avoiding systematic misjudgements as they sometimes occur in application of self-assessment scales in functional psychoses (physically induced reversible psychosis) or endogenous depression. According to this rule two economic psychopathometric testing systems have been developed for endogenous depression and functional psychosis. Both are introduced briefly.
