title: Psychiatric malpractice: ten years' loss experience.
abstract: The American Psychiatric Association authorized a study of cases closed before 1984 in its professional liability insurance programme. However, efforts to control the cost of medical malpractice insurance have failed. Psychiatrists may derive some comfort in knowing that their specialty continues to enjoy favourable rating compared with other forms of practice.
