RESUMO
The aim of the study was to search for a multidimensional order in the psychopathology of the functional mental disorders in general. A heterogeneous group of 192 patients was investigated by means of a semistructured interview based on the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale. Principal component factor analysis revealed 5 clinically meaningful dimensions interpretable as representing dysregulation of emotion and motivation, perceptual and behavioural disintegration and dysregulation of autonomic functions.

To apply the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale (CPRS) in the Netherlands we translated the English version into Dutch and examined its interrater reliability. Three patient groups were investigated. Kappa coefficients were generally comparable with those reported in a study of the German version of the CPRS and in a Dutch study measuring the present state by means of the Present State Examination.
