Brosin briefly describes the growth and goals of the Associated Psychiatric Faculties of Chicago, which are concerned with 'improving the selection and training of residents in psychiatry, especially by providing psychoanalytic training during the course of the residency'. Stress is placed upon proper selection. Experiments in group interviewing have been conducted and improved criteria for the choice of candidates are being developed. 'An enlarged concept of responsibility to students is vital. They should receive much more guidance and selection so that they may be spared unnecessary hardships. The training analysis is probably the best means of selection if training groups could act on their own findings.'

There is a need for more and better psychiatric training facilities through building up city-wide interinstitutional medical centers so that training may be provided ultimately for nonpsychiatrists as well as for psychiatrists at all levels. The advantages of university affiliations to promote these objectives seem apparent.
