This entire issue is devoted to a series of articles on the enlarged vista and scope of psychiatry, and criteria for the proper training of psychiatrists. There are contributions by Eli Ginzberg, John Romano, Karl Menninger, Robert L. Worthington, Robert P. Knight, Mary Leitch, George E. Daniels and Lawrence S. Kubie. All the contributors agree that adequate psychiatric training facilities are lacking. They all believe that this represents an urgent need since psychiatric therapy is in constantly growing demand. The significance of studying allied fields, new techniques, the importance of clinical and seminar work, and the need for strict standards of evaluation of residencies, as well as teaching staffs, are all stressed. Also included is a report of the Committee on Psychiatry in Medical Education to the Council of the American Psychiatric Association which includes some rather feeble recommendations, but takes no concrete or practical steps.
