A general method is proposed for quantum-mechanical study of physical properties of molecules involving polarization or distortion of the electronic structure. This consists of the calculation of self-consistent molecular orbital wavefunctions (single determinants) in the presence of small but finite perturbations. The general theory of such methods is presented together with a preliminary discussion of numerical error.
