[The clinical emotions list - a procedure for assessing patients' affective repertoires].
Using 20 video-interviews with psychosomatic outpatients we developed a category system that should allow a differentiated and complete assessment of a person's affective repertoire. In doing so we considered the psychological literature on verbal expression of emotions. Semantic construction, distinguishing emotion categories from one another, was chosen as the main criterion for coding. The final version of the Clinical Emotions List contained 48 items. An exploratory analysis of another ten Interviews with patients showed satisfactory reliability of the system.
