Illustrious psychiatric administrators
Abstract
The authors found several common themes in intensive interviews with 20 prominent psychiatric administrators. The decision to go into administrative work resulted from strong interest in public service, frustration in other roles, and/or situational factors. Administration was learned by doing and by interaction with colleagues in the field or other knowledgeable individuals. The job of administrator is often perceived as stressful, but it offers rewards such as increased autonomy, opportunities for self-growth, prestige, and the potential for a broader contribution to mental health.
