  • Title: [Prejudice and judgment: psychiatric consultation from the viewpoint of the patient].
    Author: Windgassen K, Weissen PH, Schmidt K.
    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 1997 May; 24(3):134-7. PubMed ID: 9273555.
    Abstract:
    187 general hospital patients were questioned in a prospective study with a semistructured interview about their subjective experience and assessment of the psychiatric consultation. Over 40% complained that they had been given insufficient information about the psychiatric consultation by their primary care physician. It was rarely (10%) found to be unpleasant, and 46% of the patients specifically stated that it had been valuable. In order to improve the efficiency of the psychiatric consultation more attention should be paid to the subjective judgement of the patients.
