Although there has been much discussion of the current professional conflicts between psychiatrists and psychologist, few studies have attempted to empirically evaluate how the professions view their roles and responsibilities within the mental health system. In this study a questionnaire was sent to psychiatrists, psychologist, social workers, and nurses in various mental health settings. They were asked to evaluate how large a role psychiatrists and psychologists played in 11 everyday activities, how competent the two professions were to perform the activity, and how much responsibility each should ideally have in carrying out the activity. The results showed that the two professions differ in their perceptions of their competence to perform several activities central to the mental health system. Based on the findings, the author suggest some ways to resolve the conflicts between the two professions.
尽管目前关于精神科医生和心理学家之间的职业冲突已有诸多讨论，但很少有研究试图实证评估这两个职业如何看待他们在心理健康系统中的角色和责任。在本研究中，一份问卷被发送给了不同心理健康机构的精神科医生、心理学家、社会工作者和护士。他们被要求评估精神科医生和心理学家在11项日常活动中所起作用的大小、这两个职业执行这些活动的能力以及在开展这些活动时各自理想情况下应承担的责任。结果表明，这两个职业在对执行心理健康系统核心的若干活动的能力认知上存在差异。基于这些发现，作者提出了一些解决这两个职业间冲突的方法。
