Research in the routine field of psychiatry must include psychiatrists in private practice. A majority of psychiatric patients is treated as outpatients and many of these are only seen by private psychiatrists. Setting or patient variables pose restrictions on the therapy which leads to the development of specific treatment strategies. Because these are empirically based, it can be expected that the knowledge of practitioners can make a major contribution to the development of optimal treatment recommendations. Research in private practice requires special organisational efforts. One way to get access to this field are collaborative study groups which bring together scientists and their research facilities with practitioners and their surgeries. Such an instrument may allow: access to patients, which may never show up in any other research institution; monitoring of patient characteristics and treatment modalities under routine conditions; elaboration of special skills, insights and treatment strategies developed by the practitioner. These study groups can vary with regard to type of practice, type of collaboration and type of research. Studies can rely on information from patient self-reports, observations by the practitioners themselves or their office assistants and on data gathered by scientific staff working occasionally or continuously in the practice.
精神病学常规领域的研究必须纳入私人执业的精神科医生。大多数精神科患者作为门诊病人接受治疗，其中许多人仅由私人精神科医生诊治。环境或患者变量对治疗构成限制，这导致了特定治疗策略的发展。由于这些策略基于经验，可以预期从业者的知识能够对制定最佳治疗建议做出重大贡献。私人执业领域的研究需要特殊的组织工作。进入该领域的一种方式是合作研究小组，它将科学家及其研究机构与从业者及其诊所聚集在一起。这样一种手段可能允许：接触到可能永远不会出现在任何其他研究机构的患者；在常规条件下监测患者特征和治疗方式；阐述从业者所发展的特殊技能、见解和治疗策略。这些研究小组在执业类型、合作类型和研究类型方面可能有所不同。研究可以依靠患者自我报告的信息、从业者本人或其办公室助理的观察，以及偶尔或持续在诊所工作的科研人员收集的数据。
