The authors surveyed 378 third-year psychiatric residents on their attitudes toward psychiatric training, forms of psychotherapy, and the medical model; their treatment preferences for 4 given psychiatric disorders; and their career plans. Correlation coefficients and analysis of variance indicated clustering of attitudes along a dynamic-biological continuum, with medical education and experience with drug therapy rated highest of the training aspects and with personal analysis or psychotherapy, training in psychoanalysis, and research rated lowest.
