title: The interrater reliability of a Dutch version of the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale.
abstract: To apply the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale (CPRS) in the Netherlands we translated the English version into Dutch and examined its interrater reliability. Three patient groups were investigated. Kappa coefficients were generally comparable with those reported in a study of the German version of the CPRS and in a Dutch study measuring the present state by means of the Present State Examination.
