The study aimed to identify those patients referred to a psychiatric out-patient clinic who had sexual or marital difficulties and who could be offered help with these problems, although none of the patients had been referred primarily for sexual or marital therapy. The methods of assessment formed a series of filtering devices for screening the sample, and possible reasons for discrepancies in the results are discussed. Twelve per cent of the sample had sexual or marital problems and were offered treatment, and it is suggested that this proportion may be an underestimate of the 'true' frequency of such problems in the sample. Implications of this finding for the provision of treatment resources in the psychiatric out-patient setting are considered.
该研究旨在确定那些被转介到精神科门诊、存在性或婚姻问题且能够在这些问题上得到帮助的患者，尽管这些患者最初均未被转介接受性或婚姻治疗。评估方法构成了一系列用于筛选样本的过滤手段，并对结果差异的可能原因进行了讨论。12%的样本存在性或婚姻问题并接受了治疗，研究表明，这一比例可能低估了样本中此类问题的“真实”发生率。文中考虑了这一发现对精神科门诊治疗资源提供的影响。
