Abstract
Twenty patients with dementia were assessed by two raters, using the Standardised Psychiatric Interview of Goldberg et al (1970). Inter-rater reliability was good or fair for many items, but test-retest reliability and validity were less good. A single interview does not appear to provide a full picture of psychiatric (excluding cognitive) symptoms in demented patients.
