Abstract

It is our belief that the teaching of undergraduate psychiatry should be directed toward equipping a general practitioner to satisfactorily deal with the most common types of psychiatric disorders that ordinarily do not require care in a psychopathic hospital. A means of accomplishing this objective by the almost exclusive use of private patients for case material during the senior year has been described.
