[Evaluation of work styles using the clinical case method at the departments of mental health in the region of Campania].
In the present study, designed after the Australian "Quality Assurance Project", the same 9 clinical "vignettes" relative to 3 schizophrenia cases, 3 depressives and 3 neurosis were read by 48 psychiatrists of the Campania Region (Italy). For each case, the psychiatrists were requested to give their opinions on best place of treatment, psycoactive drugs, psychotherapy, etc. A remarkable variability among psychiatrists was observed, regarding not only psycotherapy but drug therapy as well.
