Guilt has been associated with a wide variety of psychic dysfunctions in adult life. This makes its assessment and treatment important in clinical practice. The objective of this work is to review what instruments exist to assess the guilt in adults and detect what needs and shortcomings we find in research in this field. A systematic review of the instruments proposed for the measurement of guilt in psychopathology and psychotherapy was carried out. Ten questionnaires have been found. Most provide little or no psychometric support. Few have been adapted and validated in the Spanish population, which limits its applicability in clinical practice and research.
