And how is it over there, across the ocean?
In late February 1989, at the invitation of the Soviet Government, a Department of State-led U.S. Delegation visited the Soviet Union in an effort to assess recent changes in Soviet psychiatry, particularly those affecting human rights and the forensic system. As an outgrowth of the largely positive Soviet response to the U.S. Delegation's visit and its report, a Soviet Delegation spent time in the U.S. on a professional visit. The following report describes the impressions of the organization of psychiatric assistance in the United States as observed by Dr. Yegorov, one member of the Soviet Delegation.
