title: Modes of experience and psychiatric education.
abstract: This paper describes two modes that an effective psychiatrist uses in understanding his patients. One mode is termed the rational-active, and the other sensuous-receptive. These modes present special problems in psychiatric education. The best teaching occurs when the superviser works in both modes and consistently and sensitively communicates these modes of experience to a resident.
