Thirty general practitioner consultations with patients with psychological problems referred to a clinical psychologist for behaviour therapy, were examined. Treatment was carried out wholly within the practice. Consultations for advice and psychotropic drug prescriptions were compared during one year, both before and after treatment, and were found to be reduced by over 50 per cent following treatment. Contact with clinical psychology services, therefore, considerably reduced the demand made by these patients for general practitioner time.
对30例被转介给临床心理学家进行行为治疗的有心理问题患者的全科医生会诊进行了检查。治疗完全在诊所内进行。在治疗前后的一年时间里,对咨询建议和精神药物处方的会诊进行了比较,发现治疗后减少了50%以上。因此,与临床心理服务机构的接触大大减少了这些患者对全科医生时间的需求。
