Abstract
Summary The instrument, Assessment of Interpersonal Problem-Solving Skills (AIPSS), and the rehabilitation intervention, Training in Interpersonal Problem-Solving Skills (TIPSS), which were developed at UCLA in the USA, were adapted for a French-speaking cultural setting in Geneva, Switzerland. Pilot studies replicated the original USA findings on the AIPSS and the TIPSS. These methods were practicable with French-speaking patients and fit readily into a French cultural setting with little adaptation.
