随机抽取的精神科医生被要求提供他们最近20名患者的详细信息。60%的人回答。接受治疗的中位患者年龄为36岁，在三年的时间里每月一次在办公室看精神病医生。41%的患者患有精神病，39%的患者患有神经症，6%的患者患有人格障碍。婚姻问题、生活问题和药物或酒精依赖是不常见的咨询原因。得出两个积极的结论：病例负荷反映了社区的发病率，人格障碍患者的预后比通常预期的要好。有两个领域可能需要关注：洞察力和团体心理治疗需要大量的治疗时间，行为心理治疗很少用于神经症患者。
A random sample of psychiatrists was asked to supply details about their last 20 patients. Sixty percent responded. The median patient in treatment was aged 36 and saw a psychiatrist in office practice once a month over a three year period. Forty-one percent of the patient case load suffered from a psychotic disorder, 39% from a neurosis, and 6% from a personality disorder. Marital problems, problems in living and drug or alcohol dependence were infrequent reasons for consultation. Two positive conclusions were drawn: that the case load reflected the morbidity in the community, and that the prognosis for patients with personality disorders was better than usually expected. There were two areas of concern that may need attention: that insight and group psychotherapy require substantial numbers of treatment hours, and that behavioural psychotherapy is rarely used for patients with neurotic conditions.
