[Affective disorders in the AMDP-4 psychopathological scale]. / Les troubles affectifs dans l'échelle psychopathologique AMDP-4.

The AMDP-4 Psychopathology rating scale contains a category on "Disturbances of affect". It seemed interesting to us to define and explicit the items of this category since "affectivity" is an ill-used concept because it is ill-defined. The same holds for different terms connected to this concept: feelings, emotions, sensations, affects, sensitivity etc. It should be emphasized that the present contribution could only be done thanks to the psychopathological richness of the AMDP; with the most widely used rating scales, it would have been meaningless.
