Psychoanalytic concepts in psychiatric training
Abstract
The author describes, categorizes, and appraises psychiatric training programs on the basis of how each handles psychoanalytic concepts. He suggests rationales for including a proper balance of psychoanalytic conceptualizations in each type of program. Some emphasis complementing a balanced curriculum is recommended. He also notes that the psychiatrist is both a physician and a mental health professional who looks at the biologic, psychological, and social aspects of behavior; the synthesis of these several perspectives should be conveyed effectively and without bias to all students entering psychiatry.
