Outpatient clinics gradually accumulate patients with longstanding disabilities. The traditional treatment approach is to see such patients in brief, intermittent, individual visits. Staff generally dislikes treating such patients and patients may, in part, maintain their symptoms in order to maintain ties with a nurturing institution. The experience with an alternative approach, weekly group meetings using a number of helping modalities, is described. Although no panacea, the approach appears to provide a reasonably effective, efficient, and enjoyable way of helping chronically disabled patients.
门诊诊所逐渐积累了患有长期残疾的患者。传统的治疗方法是对这类患者进行简短、不定期的个别问诊。工作人员通常不喜欢治疗这类患者，而患者可能会在一定程度上维持自身症状，以便与一个给予关爱的机构保持联系。本文描述了一种替代方法的经验，即使用多种辅助方式的每周小组会议。尽管并非万灵药，但这种方法似乎为帮助慢性残疾患者提供了一种相当有效、高效且愉快的方式。
