AB  - This study aimed to investigate 1) the relationship between subjective perception 
      of quality of life (QoL) and clinician-rated levels of psychosocial functioning 
      and 2) the relationship of these indicators with neuropsychological performances, 
      in a sample of 117 subjects with mood and anxiety disorders hospitalized for a 
      4-week psychiatric rehabilitation program. At the beginning of the 
      hospitalization, QoL and clinician-rated functioning were respectively measured 
      by the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment-Brief Form 
      (WHOQOL-BREF) and the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale, and subjects 
      were administered a neuropsychological battery evaluating verbal and visual 
      memory, working memory, attention, visual-constructive ability, language fluency 
      and comprehension. We did not find any association between WHOQOL-BREF and GAF 
      scores and between cognitive impairment and lower QoL or clinician-rated 
      functioning. Our results suggest that 1) the individuals' condition encompasses 
      different dimensions that are not fully captured by using only clinician-rated or 
      self-administered evaluations; 2) the GAF scale seems unable to indicate the 
      cognitive impairments of our subjects and the WHOQOL-BREF does not appear to be 
      influenced by these deficits. Overall, our findings suggest the need of 
      simultaneously use of multiple assessment tools, including objective evaluations 
      of functioning and different measures of QoL, in order to obtain a more complete 
      clinical picture of the patients. This may allow to identify more specific 
      targets of therapeutic interventions and more reliable measures of outcome.
