Procedural problems inhibiting follow-up research on psychiatric patients are discussed, and solutions offered, in the areas of ethical concerns, study design, selection of variables, collection of data, and researcher-clinician relationship. Early communication with patients about methods and goals, and maintenance of rapport and feedback between research and treatment staffs may overcome many difficulties of long-term research, and even aid treatment.
