Early in 1967, 100 teaching centers in the United States and Canada were surveyed by questionnaire in regard to their attitudes and practices in teaching the history of psychiatry. Eighty-seven responded. Many of the centers had been included in a similar study in 1961. Forty-four U. S. centers, and two Canadian, report that they are now offering courses in historical psychiatry—twice as many as in 1961. Average curriculum time is about 20 hours.
