One hundred psychiatric patients seen for the first time on a private basis received a research interview that allowed a study of demographic and clinical characteristics. Eighty-five had a discrete psychiatric disorder and fifty were suffering affective disorders. Most sought psychiatric attention because of a situation defined as an emergency, and a large number were hospitalized at the time of the first interview. Most of the patients made six or more office visits within the ensuing eighteen to twenty-four months. Males were largely represented among patients who sought emergency treatment, had an initial hospitalization, and received longer office treatment.
一百名首次私下就诊的精神病患者接受了一次研究访谈，该访谈有助于对人口统计学和临床特征进行研究。八十五人患有特定的精神障碍，其中五十人患有情感障碍。大多数人因被界定为紧急情况的状况而寻求精神科治疗，并且大量患者在首次访谈时就已住院。在随后的十八至二十四个月内，大多数患者进行了六次或更多次门诊就诊。在寻求紧急治疗、首次住院以及接受较长时间门诊治疗的患者中，男性占了很大比例。
