Abstract

A factor analysis of Hispanic, Black, and Caucasian patient request data generated three conceptual factors, which account for 13 reasons for coming to a psychiatric outpatient clinic. The relationship of these factors with selected demographic and therapy outcome variables was tested statistically, and implications for therapy with low income and minority patients are discussed.
