β¦ Synopsis
A scale was developed to survey the treatment expectations of psychiatric patients subsequently diagnosed Neurotic, Psychotic, Character Disorder, Alcoholic, and Transient Personality Disorder. Responses of 103 male inpatients were categorized on six treatment expectation scales : No Treatment, Personal Behavior Change, Interpersonal Change, Job and School, Psychiatric Symptom, and Physical Symptom. The major finding was that treatment expectations of patients generally were unrelated to psychiatric diagnosis.
