A nationwide (U.S.) survey of major public mental hospitals treating patients who are incompetent for trial, not guilty by reason of insanity, mentally disordered sex offenders, or mentally ill inmates was conducted. Responses were received from 71 percent of the 115 facilities surveyed. Respondents were the directors of psychiatry from the respective facilities. The pattern of treatments delivered generally appeared clinically appropriate. However, behavioral and cognitive-behavioral treatments were reported infrequently, even in areas in which they would be particularly useful.
在美国进行了一项针对主要公立精神病院的全国性调查，这些医院收治因无受审能力、精神错乱而无罪、精神错乱的性犯罪者或精神病囚犯的患者。在接受调查的115家机构中，有71%给出了回应。受访者是各机构的精神病科主任。所提供的治疗模式总体上似乎在临床上是恰当的。然而，行为治疗和认知行为治疗的报告很少，即使在它们可能特别有用的领域也是如此。
