[Health education in psychiatry].
A more open and community based psychiatry should put more weight on health education and cooperation with the media. In the USA guidelines have been developed for such cooperation. In Norway, media experiences are described from the Oslo and Telemark regions. Exposure in the media can influence the relationship between the patient and the therapist and also influence the therapeutic process. Only few experimental studies have been carried out on the media and primary prevention. The article also briefly reviews mental health education through fiction, autobiography and popular scientific literature etc.
