Aims: To study the interrelation between disorders of functions, capacity and participation in mental disorders. Method: Two hundred and thirteen psychosomatic inpatients were assessed with the Mini-ICF-Rating for Mental Disorders (Mini-ICF-P), the Symptom Checklist (SCL-90-R) and an interview on sick leave. Results: The highest scores in the Mini-ICF-P were found for `flexibility' ( M = 1.64, SD = 0.94), `structuring of tasks' ( M = 1.12, SD = 1.05) and `endurance' ( M = 1.12, SD = 1.02), the lowest for `self maintenance' ( M = 0.19, SD = 0.44), `mobility' ( M = 0.43, SD = 0.85) and `adherence to regulations' ( M = 0.74, SD = 0.98). The correlation between Mini-ICF-P and SCL-90-R GSI is r = 0.51 ( p
