借鉴早期的公式，本文进一步发展了一个明确的社会学理论的原因和过程的稳定性精神障碍。这一理论的核心是九个命题，需要实证检验。通过界定需要解释的行为种类，借鉴以往研究的发现，并利用纯粹的社会学概念（如剩余偏差的概念），提出了一个模型，其中精神障碍的动力学发生在由偏差者和对其行为作出反应的人构成的系统中。根据这里发展的理论，在西方社会中被称为精神障碍的越轨行为类型的开始、维持和终止的原因是社会系统的一部分，因此，在分析上可以从心理学中分离出来。
Drawing upon earlier formulations, this paper further develops an explicitly sociological theory of the causation and course of stable mental disorder. Central to this theory are nine propositions which require empirical testing. By delimiting the kinds of behavior which are to be explained, by drawing upon findings from previous studies, and by utilizing purely sociological concepts (such as the concept of residual deviance), a model is proposed in which the dynamics of mental disorder occur within the system constituted by the deviant and those reacting to his behavior. According to the theory developed here, the causes for the initiation, maintenance, and termination for the type of deviant behavior referred to as mental disorder in Western society are part of the social system, and analytically separable, therefore, from endopsychic
