Abstract

During the last few years, and particularly following the experience gained in World War II, an important change has developed in the position occupied by psychiatry within the general medical profession, and with it has come the need for a reorientation of the two. On the one hand, psychiatry has begun to appreciate more fully the significant role that the somatic functions play in influencing psychologic and social adjustment and their importance in the causation and treatment of personality problems.

Medical educators have long recognized this development and with it the need for a revision of the status of psychiatry in the training program of physicians, both at the undergraduate and
