In this section we have assembled a small collection of data concerned with the issue of whether or not adolescents would profit from reflective inquiry into the closed area of mental health care. We have analyzed, arranged and interpreted the data from our study and conclude it demonstrates that adolescent inpatients did profit substantially from a reflective inquiry into mental health care. The number of subjects involved in this experimental program was small. The subjects of the experimental program were not selected randomly. Moreover, the researcher could not control for a number of intervening variables. For this particular group the intervening variables were many: changes in the subjects' individual treatment program, level of tranquilizing medication, attitude of other staff toward the experimental program, relations with parents or relatives, et cetera. This list covers some of the more important weaknesses of the experimental design. In the account of the experiment we reported the influence of other significant intervening variables as they emerged during the course of the study. Even with these important limitations the total push of the results in the direction of our argument compels us to conclude that it is clearly profitable for adolescent inpatients to reflectively inquire into the closed area of mental health care. Although the data reported here are not of predictive value, we believe they indicate the importance of having adolescent inpatients reflectively examine their social situation.
在本节中，我们收集了一小部分数据，这些数据涉及青少年是否能从对心理健康护理封闭领域的反思性探究中获益这一问题。我们对研究数据进行了分析、整理和解读，并得出结论：青少年住院患者确实从对心理健康护理的反思性探究中受益匪浅。参与该实验项目的受试者数量较少。实验项目的受试者并非随机选取。此外，研究人员无法控制一些干预变量。对于这个特定群体而言，干预变量众多：受试者个人治疗方案的变化、镇静药物的使用水平、其他工作人员对实验项目的态度、与父母或亲属的关系等等。这份清单涵盖了实验设计中一些较为重要的缺陷。在对实验的描述中，我们报告了在研究过程中出现的其他显著干预变量的影响。即便存在这些重要局限性，但结果总体上朝着我们论点的方向推进，这迫使我们得出结论：青少年住院患者对心理健康护理封闭领域进行反思性探究显然是有益的。尽管此处报告的数据不具有预测价值，但我们认为它们表明了让青少年住院患者反思性审视自身社会状况的重要性。
