[Normal psychiatric interview].
The documentation of the normal psychiatric interview has been omitted in the ICD 10 classification. Particularly, psychiatric consultants have to deal with the practical problem of adequate classification of patients with normal psychopathology. To use unspecific codes or to omit the coding of the findings are no suitable solutions. Future revision of the ICD 10 classification should integrate the normal psychiatric interview.
