Abstract
Under the National Health Service the status of British psychiatry has improved in relation to that of general medicine. One of the most important factors has been the ending of the comparatively isolated position of psychiatry. Another has been increased financial provision, and a third the rapid expansion of undergraduate teaching. As a result, psychiatry has emerged from the status of an isolated specialty to that of a major branch of the medical profession.
