title: [Implementation of the AWMF guideline for the assessment of mental disorders].
abstract: The assessment of mental health for sick pay and disability supplementary insurance (BUZ) has, in comparison to specialties like internal medicine or orthopaedic surgery, a traditionally low selectivity between BU/AF (sick pay) or BU/Non-BU (BUZ). Reliability, validity and objectivity were low. The appraisals were created individually according to the designee's experience and were very inhomogeneous in structure and quality. The publication of the guideline 051-029 in March 2012 provides improved grounds for the assessment of patients. In this article, we describe our experiences for the first twelve months after the implementation of the guideline.
