[Organization and achievement of a training for ICD-10 rating. The experience of La Verrière Psychiatric Hospital].

Referring to an International Classification of Mental Health and Behavioural Disorders is a way for psychiatrists to use a common language. The publication of the ICD-10 Chapter V made this possible. A note from the French Ministry of Health (14 January 1993) made official the use of the ICD-10th Revision in order to complete the psychiatric sector patient files. During 1992, in the La Verrière Psychiatric Hospital, all doctors, psychologists and nurses get trained in the use of the ICD-10. Twelve video inpatient cases were rated and discussed following the ICD-10 criteria. This paper reports on this experience.
