Resolving the conflict of training and therapy in psychiatry.
This paper poses the question of whether psychiatric patients are disadvantaged by their exposure to psychiatric residents. The advantages and disadvantages of short residency rotations both for patient treatment and resident education are examined. Recommendations are suggested for alternative models of supervision which may reduce the negative effects of short-term rotations on therapeutic outcome and result in improved educational opportunities for psychiatric residents, especially in the area of chronic care.
