A Commentary on "The Pseudo-Regulation of American Psychiatry"
Abstract
The efforts leading up to the formation of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in 1934 reflected the two professions' attempts to protect the public interest and to separate persons who were adequately trained in the two specialties from those who were self-declared specialists. While problems have developed in recent years, efforts toward improvement are under way through experimentation with recertification, a better and more relevant type of Board examination, and other means of evaluating the competence of psychiatrists and other physicians.
