The need for continuing care of chronic psychiatric patients within the community is a pressing problem that calls for development and testing of new treatment methods. This paper describes one such method, the Continuing Care Clinic, an outpatient program for chronic patients who have not responded well to other outpatient treatment approaches. The clinic's structure, treatment rationale and procedures, and clinical results over a 31/2-year period are described. Among specific treatment features discussed are the use of multiple therapists, focus on available personality strengths and on reality issues, and patient-staff group interaction as an adjunct to individual psychotherapy.
在社区内持续护理慢性精神病患者的需求是一个紧迫的问题，需要开发和测试新的治疗方法。本文描述了一种这样的方法，即持续护理诊所，这是一个针对对其他门诊治疗方法反应不佳的慢性病患者的门诊项目。文中描述了该诊所的结构、治疗原理和程序，以及3年半期间的临床结果。讨论的具体治疗特点包括使用多名治疗师、关注现有的人格优势和现实问题，以及患者与工作人员的团体互动作为个体心理治疗的辅助手段。
