Physical medicine has a body of normal findings that make possible the definition of disease states. The routine procedures of psychiatry do not include any such tests of health. As a result, the psychiatric concept of illness has no stable base from which specific conditions can be described. The author suggests two human capacities, connectedness and self-protectiveness, that can be assessed by the psychiatrist in attempting to evaluate the patient's overall psychological health.
物理医学有一系列正常表现，据此可以定义疾病状态。精神病学的常规程序不包括任何此类健康测试。因此，精神病学的疾病概念没有一个稳定的基础来描述特定病症。作者提出了两种人类能力，即关联性和自我保护能力，精神科医生在试图评估患者的整体心理健康时可以对其进行评估。
