Training the Woman Resident To Be a Psychiatrist

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1176/ajp.130.10.1131

The author focuses on the problems of the woman resident and draws upon her own experience to illustrate her point that women are not accorded the same consideration as other minorities and that, for women, the residency period may be one of loneliness and misunderstanding.
