ABSTRACT
This column presents a way of conceptualizing the clinical practice of medicine including psychiatry within the framework of the scientific method. The goal is to aid practicing clinicians as well as trainees. This conceptual framework will improve the care of patients as it applies a discipline relative to giving time-limited trials of the various treatments available and then an assessment of whether the treatment worked adequately or not and what to do in the latter case. In this way, this approach should decrease the risk of excessive multiple medication use to treat a specific patient. Incorporating this conceptual framework early in the training of mental health care prescribers would be desirable.
