The author makes two points of interest to analysts: 1, that there is increased need for emphasis on preparation for research and familiarity with current research practices and techniques on the part of psychiatric residents; and 2, that the National Institute of Mental Health is supporting a group who are preparing a major conference designed to evolve 'far-reaching principles' to guide 'the move toward integration of psychoanalysis into the framework of a university or medical school'. The increasing emphasis on the training of psychiatric residents in research principles and techniques will probably show up in the interests and attitudes of future candidates for analytic training.
