title: Progressive psychiatry: a research agenda.
abstract: It is possible to create a new research agenda based on an alternative perspective of human behavior and mind. After describing the theoretical tenets of this alternative perspective, illustrations of a new research agenda are presented. Such a research agenda would: (1) create new points of departure; (2) examine social relations underlying all variables; (3) more fully explore "unexplained variance;" (4) focus on the adaptive interaction of individuals within their world. Such research aims towards enhancing human uniqueness, action, and spirit.
