Abstract

The author found that DSM-III criteria were generally applicable to the diagnoses of a series of new and repeat outpatients studied under field conditions in Botswana, a developing African country. Some problems were encountered, however, with axis II, which was not commonly used. Other clinical aspects of the patients are commented on, including the rarity of acute psychoses and culture-bound syndromes.

摘要

作者发现，《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版（DSM-III）的标准通常适用于在非洲发展中国家博茨瓦纳实地条件下研究的一系列新门诊患者和复诊门诊患者的诊断。然而，在轴II方面遇到了一些问题，该轴并不常用。文中还对患者的其他临床方面进行了评论，包括急性精神病和文化相关综合征的罕见性。
