Abstract
In our contribution to the first symposium we pointed out the lack of a standard technique to assess psychiatric disorders after open-heart surgery [2]. Although several well-constructed inventories exist for assessment of psychiatric symptoms, they are nevertheless rarely used even in Anglo-American research. Major reasons for this seem to be the inordinate length of time required to employ the major inventories (e.g., PSE) or the inappropriateness of the short instruments (e.g., BPRS) for measuring psychological changes after open-heart surgery.
