Social and economic influences on psychiatric education: a commentary.
This issue of Psychiatric Quarterly is dedicated to psychiatric educators and psychiatric education. The authors contributing to this special publication are committed to the pursuit of excellence in education and in the clinical application of current knowledge. Because psychiatry encounters turbulence at its boundaries and encroachments on its roles in society, the psychiatric educational process struggles to adapt to society's concerns and expectations, while at the same time continuing to emphasize the development of clinical excellence for trainees.
