Some of the basic problems confronting women in psychiatric training are
reflected in four major areas: supervision, administration, research, and
peer relationships. The authors recommend a residency seminar on female
psychology, flexible-schedule residencies, inclusion of more women in all
phases of the profession, reeducation in female psychology for supervisors,
more research opportunities, the availability of male and female mentors,
and training program encouragement of peer support; these suggestions would
help overcome the problems and improve training programs for women and
men.
