title: The relationship between psychiatrists' couple and family therapy training experience and their subsequent practice profile.
abstract: A 28-item questionnaire was returned by 291 psychiatrists who had completed training between 1962 and 1992. There were positive correlations between the amount of couple and family therapy training (CFTT) they received and the following: the extent to which graduate psychiatrists practice CFT; their involvement as supervisors, teachers, teaching program directors, or researchers; the extent to which they seek continuing education in CFT; their positive attitude toward CFT; and the extent to which they feel that their attitude to and interest in CFT has had a positive effect on the milieu in which they practice and on their personal lives.
