Psychiatry, mental health
In German medical report, patient has PTSD, under "Psychischer Befund":
"Die gestellten Fragen werden konkret und umfassend beantwortet. Es finden sich keine Hinweise für eine appellative oder demonstrative Ausgestaltung. Das biografische Zeitgitter ist dicht geknüpft,"
I cannot find "Ausgestaltung" anywhere used in this context. I would appreciate suggestions on how to translate it in English.
Thanks,
Stephen

: No doubt the "interpretation" is correct but it's a pretty slippery slope when a translation "improves" the original and doesn't hit the same tone.

His account contained no hints of demonstrative or persuasive expressions.
Gisela is right about what it comes down to. But it is probably prudent to find something that is a little closer to the original tone even at the expense of clarity.
