Abstract

Results are presented which illustrate the use of naturalistic observation techniques to study ongoing patterns of postural, gestural, and spacing behaviors among psychiatric patients hospitalized for acute psychiatric disorders. Behavioral frequencies are analyzed in terms of stable and labile characteristics by week of hospitalization, clinical diagnosis, and clinical outcome. Findings are interpreted from both clinical psychiatric and ethological perspectives. The discussion emphasizes the potential value of observational data gathering techniques for disorder assessment and theory development.

摘要

研究结果表明，自然观察技术可用于研究因急性精神疾病住院的精神病患者的姿势、手势和空间行为的持续模式。根据住院周数、临床诊断和临床结果，从稳定和不稳定特征方面分析行为频率。从临床精神病学和行为学两个角度对研究结果进行了解释。讨论强调了观察数据收集技术在疾病评估和理论发展方面的潜在价值。
