Abstract

The need for closer liaison between the legal and medical professions in matters pertaining to human behavior led to the introduction of a psychiatric clerkship for selected law students at the University of Iowa. The objectives were to enable the students to become familiar with methods of diagnosis, interviewing techniques, counseling, and working with community agencies. A questionnaire evaluation verified the value of this approach.
