A clinical psychologist was attached to two group practices in Sheffield for 1.5 sessions each per week. A total of 238 patients was seen during 26 months. Of those completing therapy, 72 per cent made satisfactory progress. In the three months after stopping treatment patients made significantly fewer (36 per cent) visits to the surgeries and received significantly fewer (50 per cent) prescriptions for psychotropic drugs than in the three months before referral. These changes were maintained one year later in the three-month period 12 to 15 months after discharge. The result has been to provide largely successful therapy for a population of patients for whom adequate treatment was previously unavailable. This suggests that it would be worthwhile to expand psychological services in general practice still further as advised by the Department of Health and Social Security.
一名临床心理学家每周在谢菲尔德的两个团体诊所各工作1.5个时段。在26个月期间共接待了238名患者。完成治疗的患者中，72%取得了令人满意的进展。在停止治疗后的三个月里，患者去诊所就诊的次数显著减少（减少了36%），并且与转诊前的三个月相比，精神药物的处方量也显著减少（减少了50%）。这些变化在出院后12至15个月的三个月期间保持了一年。结果是为以前无法获得充分治疗的一群患者提供了基本上成功的治疗。这表明按照卫生和社会保障部的建议，进一步扩大全科医疗中的心理服务是值得的。
