The English Adaptation of the AMDP System

  • Chapter

Abstract

The English AMDP Manual, published in 1982, had its roots in work performed under the WHO training program in Montreal during 1974. Juri Saarma, a Visiting Professor in that program, undertook the task of preparing a verbatim translation of all six parts of the second edition of the AMP System with the collaboration of Drs. Lehmann and Ban. The work was undertaken in order to provide a comprehensive assessment system suitable both for diagnostic classification as well as for the assessment of change over time (1).
