Abstract

This column presents a way of conceptualizing the clinical practice of medicine including psychiatry within the framework of the scientific method. The goal is to aid practicing clinicians as well as trainees. This conceptual framework will improve the care of patients as it applies a discipline relative to giving time-limited trials of the various treatments available and then an assessment of whether the treatment worked adequately or not and what to do in the latter case. In this way, this approach should decrease the risk of excessive multiple medication use to treat a specific patient. Incorporating this conceptual framework early in the training of mental health care prescribers would be desirable.

临床实践与科学方法的基本相似之处。

本专栏介绍了一种在科学方法框架内对包括精神病学在内的医学临床实践进行概念化的方法。目的是帮助临床医师和受训人员。这一概念框架将改善对病人的护理，因为它应用了一种纪律，即对现有的各种治疗方法进行有时间限制的试验，然后评估治疗是否充分奏效，以及在后一种情况下该如何处理。因此，这种方法应能降低为治疗特定患者而过度使用多种药物的风险。在对精神健康护理处方人员进行培训时，最好能尽早纳入这一概念框架。
