Psychiatry's image today: Results of an attitudinal survey
ND West and MA Walsh
The authors report the results of a survey designed to assess opinions and
attitudes toward psychiatry among three groups of physicians and two groups
of medical students. In general, the role of psychiatry was regarded
favorably, and respondents' comments and criticisms were constructive and
consistent. The authors suggest that the survey results may reflect an
improvement in psychiatry's image.
