Abstract

A summary of the educational possibilities of a state psychopathic hospital may be given as follows:

A. INTRA-MURAL EDUCATIONAL POSSIBILITIES.

1. Adequate teaching of medical students emphasizing a diminution in didactic work and increasing actual ward contacts with patients.

2. Educational possibilities through regular group conferences with relatives. This should be a vital activity of any psychopathic hospital.

3. Education through the medium of patients discharged from the hospital. Each patient should be given written advice analogous to that given in other medical fields.

4. An active consultation service will help break down the barrier between psychiatry and the other fields of medicine. In this connection it is important to have joint clinics with representatives from other fields.

B. EXTRA-MURAL EDUCATIONAL POSSIBILITIES.

1. Further contacts with the courts and the legal profession should be made. In this connection a brief course in psychiatry in the law school has been given.

2. The traveling clinic has been found to be of great educational value, especially since it furthers contacts with schools, social and health organizations in all districts. It should pave the way for the establishment of permanent base clinics and it is hoped that eventually a permanent traveling team will be created.
