[The Eppendorf mood and drive scale (author's transl)].

A self rating scale to reflect the course of manic-depressive psychosis. The subject of this report is the development of a self rating scale which assists in performing time series analysis of the course of manic-depressive illness which does not lead to a global depressivity score but generates both a mood score and a drive score. This instrument is designed to compile long-range series and to study the situation of manic-depressive mixed states (mood and drive separation).
