Abstract
The reliability of the diagnoses of axis II of DSM-III [Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders III] was examined by measuring the levels of agreement among 3 psychiatrists who independently examined the same patients in everyday clinical settings. The kappa coefficient levels were lower than those reported from the field trials.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
