The affective experience of residency training in community psychiatry
PG Cotton and KD Pruett
The community setting arouses disturbing feelings (of anxiety, loneliness,
anger, and disappointment) within the resident in a manner that is both
unique and potentially constructive for his development as a clinician. The
examination of these feelings in the supervisory setting and through peer
supervision is crucial to the success of the resident's work in the
community.
