Findings of Psychiatric Basic Examination. Indications of Therapeutic Plans

Abstract

We will here describe the findings of the psychiatric basic examination. The main emphasis will be laid on those included in the psychosocial and clinical background variables constructed for statistical analysis in subsequent accounts of therapeutic practice and prognosis (Appendix 1). At the same time, the definitions connected with these variables and their categorization are clarified. In later chapters, the connections of these variables with the implementation of different modes of treatment as well as with prognostic findings will become the focus of our interest.
