German term or phrase: psychopathologische Unauffälligkeit
The control subjects are healthy; the other subjects are in remittance from major depression.

Nachdem die Kontrollprobanden über das Studienziel informiert worden waren und die Einverständniserklärung unterzeichnet hatten, erfolgte die Eruierung der psychopathologischen Unauffälligkeit mithilfe des SKID I und II, des ZVT, des BDI II und des QIDS-C-16.

The author's glossary specifies "psychopathological inconspicuous findings" for this term, but I can't make any sense out of it. Does it mean "psychopathological but inconspicuous findings" -- i.e., they aren't really as healthy as first assumed?

My draft:

After the control subjects were informed about the objective of the study and signed the consent form, the SCID I and II, the ZVT, the BDI II, and the QIDS-C-16 were used to elicit psychopathological inconspicuous findings.

agree  Armorel Young: yes - the various tests were used to verify that the controls were psychopathologically normal.

absence of psychopathological findings


Explanation:
I am hesitant to say this, since linguistically skilled English natives like philgoddard and Armorel Young don't seem to find fault with the term "psychopathologically normal" – but still: my (strong) feeling is that this combination of "-pathological(ly)" and "inconspicuous" would not usually be used in English. Anyway (as the colleagues have said), the meaning is 'no psychopathology' rather than 'normal' psychopathology.

psychopathological findings are inconspicuous


Explanation:
Based on my discussion entry, I would recommend trying to stay close to the author's glossary and using "inconspicuous".

I found the following for "psychiatrisch unauffällig":
http://psydok.psycharchives.de/jspui/handle/20.500.11780/307...
Kinder depressiver und psychiatrisch unauffälliger Eltern in der Kinder- und Jugendpsychiatrie - eine vergleichende Studie
Children of Depressive Parents and Psychiatrically Inconspicuous Parents in the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry – a Comparison Study

Definition (www.v-r.de/en/warenkorb-0-2/download.html?typ=abo&artikel_i...
Als psychiatrisch unauffällig gelten Eltern, für die keine psychiatrische ICD-10-Diagnose angegeben wurde.

no signs of psychopathological issues


Explanation:
The control subjects were confirmed to have no signs of psychopathological issues/disturbances/have no psychopathological symptoms.

The translation should reflect, like the German does, that those exams were only used to confirm that the control subjects were indeed healthy and that there was no expectation of a different outcome...
