Abstract
The Classic Text is an outline of the Stirling County Study as conceptualized by Alexander H Leighton. It was first presented at a conference held in 1949 organized by the Milbank Memorial Fund, an American philanthropic foundation. The meeting brought together 30-40 experts from across North America. Leighton succinctly explained his frame of reference for the epidemiology of mental disorders and the methodology of the community-based study he conducted in Nova Scotia. The introduction to the text explains contextual points, certain specificities of Leighton's framework, and the discussions that surrounded it, largely dominated by a group of Harvard professors, including Erich Lindemann and John E Gordon.
《经典文本》是亚历山大·H·雷顿对斯特林县研究的概述。1949年,美国慈善基金会米尔班克纪念基金(Milbank Memorial Fund)在一次会议上首次提出了这一概念。会议汇集了来自北美各地的30-40名专家。雷顿简明地解释了他在精神疾病流行病学方面的参考框架,以及他在新斯科舍省进行的以社区为基础的研究的方法。正文的引言部分解释了上下文要点,雷顿框架的某些特点,以及围绕它的讨论,这些讨论主要由一群哈佛教授主导,包括埃里希·林德曼和约翰·E·戈登。
