The utilization of a second psychiatrist is necessary. This psychiatrist is the administrator, the coordinator, and the reality-interpreter.3. He must be flexible, experienced, good at communication, and constantly scrutinizing his own attitudes toward the patient and the others involved.Abstract Teaser
