Summary

With the introduction of major tranquillizers more than three decades ago symptom rating scales were soon accepted as the method of evaluating their clinical effects. The Mini-compendium is a collection of rating scales for measuring outcome of antianxiety drugs, antidepressants, antimanics, and anti-psychotics. The scales have been selected by their “cash values”, i.e. the scales most frequently used for the respective dimensions. These scales have been further developed in terms of strict item definitions. The simple sum of the individual scale items has been considered as a sufficient statistic if they fulfilled latent structure analysis of shared phenomenology.
