Abstract
In order to apply the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale (CPRS) to psychiatric clinical practice in Japan, a preliminary Japanese version was made and the doctor to doctor and doctor to nurse inter-rater reliability examined. Compared with the high reliability of the items of reported psychopathology, the coefficients of correlation of observed psychopathology were considerably scattered. Education and training of the rater may improve the reliability. It is considered that the CPRS will become a very useful psychiatric rating scale in Japan.Keywords
