Written from the viewpoint of a Foreign Medical School Graduate, this paper describes the use of psychiatric home visits in the Philippine Islands and the United States including a general explanation of the prevailing attitudes. Two case histories are used to illustrate the value of home visits in child psychiatry. A single home visit may be more revealing as to the cause of the pathology than numerous clinic sessions. The paper concludes with a brief literature survey followed by a summary discussion which presents the author's observations of personal gains derived from home visits.
本文从一名外国医学院毕业生的视角出发，描述了菲律宾群岛和美国精神病家访的应用情况，包括对普遍态度的总体解释。文中使用了两个病例史来说明家访在儿童精神病学中的价值。相较于多次门诊就诊，单次家访可能更有助于揭示病理原因。本文结尾进行了简短的文献综述，随后是总结讨论，呈现了作者对家访所获个人收获的观察。
