Abstract

The author, after paying tribute to the late chief of the NIMH training branch, describes past and current psychiatric education. Among the contributions he believes psychiatry has made to medical education are its emphasis on methods of observation and on understanding the personality. However, he believes current psychiatric training has neglected contributions from the biological sciences and fails to completely recognize the importance of the entire life cycle. He also assesses recent changes in medical school curricula.
