From a systematic analysis of 54 anecdotal accounts written by patients with various abnormalities of appearance, a common pattern of experience has been discovered which is divisible into six parts: induction and development of self-consciousness, defence mechanisms, unavoidable distressing activities, downgrading of self-concept, difficulties with interpersonal relationships, and rationalisation. This scheme of symptomatology is presented as a basis for history-taking and as a base-line for future comparative studies of different types of abnormal appearance.
通过对54篇由外貌存在各种异常的患者撰写的轶事性记录进行系统分析，发现了一种常见的经历模式，可分为六个部分：自我意识的产生与发展、防御机制、不可避免的痛苦活动、自我概念的贬低、人际关系困难以及合理化。这种症状学方案被作为病史采集的基础以及未来不同类型外貌异常比较研究的基线呈现出来。
