title: [Assessment of the capability of performance of patients with psychic and psychosomatic diseases--a diagnostic model].
abstract: The limited availability of appropriate methods and criteria makes the assessment of capability by psychic and psychosomatic disorders difficult. This article displays and discusses the standards relating to content and method in capability assessments. The underlying diagnostic model of assessment capability has been conceptualised and tested empirically by a multicentric and interdisciplinary work-group. Different diagnostic levels of the manual are outlined as well as the procedures of operationalisation of the diagnostic categories. Furthermore, first results of empirical analysis are described and important conditions of the application of the diagnostic model are discussed.
