title: [Factor structure of the H.S.C.L. in a sample of French anxious-depressed patients].
abstract: The 58 items version of the Hopkins Symptom Check List (Derogatis et al.) was scored on 85 depressed outpatients treated by general practitioners. The data were obtained before any anti-depressant treatment. A principal component factorial analysis with Varimax rotation was used. 41 of the 58 items of the check list were assigned to seven independent factors: interpersonal sensitivity, somatisation (pain), retardation, digestive disorders, autonomic symptoms, sleep and obsessive disorders, depressive mood. Our results are compared to those published by Derogatis.
