Private psychiatric practice: image and reality. 1978

G M Desmarais, and J D McPeake, and R Hilyard

This study reports data collected from an individual private psychiatric practice. Despite the paucity of information concerning private practice, a popular image has evolved. An analysis of a sample of 400 patients' records confirmed certain aspects of this image, but suggested that other aspects of the image are misleading. A short-term model of private practice may be more effective than other competing models.
