The concept of the psychiatric unit as a social system, with staff members and patients working together to pursue a number of functions, is a departure from the disease model and the classic patient-doctor dyadic relationship. The organization of a psychiatric unit as a social system can facilitate an atmosphere that promotes a corrective emotional experience for patients and a positive emotional climate for the staff. The various ways in which social organization and environment can effect clinical change are described.
将精神科病房视为一个社会系统，工作人员和患者共同努力履行多种职能，这一概念背离了疾病模式和经典的医患二元关系。将精神科病房组织成一个社会系统，能够营造一种氛围，为患者促进矫正性情感体验，为工作人员营造积极的情感氛围。文中描述了社会组织和环境影响临床变化的各种方式。
