Psychiatry's image today: Results of an attitudinal survey.
The authors report the results of a survey designed to assess opinions and attitudes toward psychiatry among three groups of physicians and two groups of medical students. In general, the role of psychiatry was regarded favorably, and respondents' comments and criticisms were constructive and consistent. The authors suggest that the survey results may reflect an improvement in psychiatry's image.
