The report under discussion suggests examination of psychogeriatric clients undertaken by a psychiatrist with the help of the current medical diagnostic apparatus. The report is criticized as the psychiatric approach is too much emphasized. This emphasis does not correspond with the current practice in the Dutch psychogeriatric care. The problems of psychogeriatrics are not to be found in the field of diagnostics, but rather in the lack of ambulatory services. The disadvantageous implications of the proposals for the client and the policy as to psychogeriatrics are discussed.
正在讨论的这份报告建议，由精神科医生借助当前的医学诊断设备对老年精神病患者进行检查。该报告受到批评，因为其过于强调精神科的方法。这种强调与荷兰老年精神病护理的当前实践不符。老年精神病学的问题并非出在诊断领域，而是在于缺乏门诊服务。文中讨论了这些提议对患者以及老年精神病学政策的不利影响。
