Recent psychiatric literature is reviewed to demonstrate the general state of clinical psychiatry. The advent of chemical therapies requires that psychiatrists receive comprehensive training in organic and dynamic approaches. Consultative collaboration between psychiatrists and physicians is encouraged though there is also a conspicuous need for physician training in consultative techniques and referrals. Diagnostic classifications by the psychiatrist are discussed. Rehabilitation methods in the community and family require more research and awareness on the part of psychiatrists. The manifold variety of investigations, studies, treatments, and rehabilitation of schizophrenics is discussed at length and the often contradictory conclusions are noted. The scope of analysis and treatment of depression is reviewed and certain etiological hypotheses associated backgrounds and depression are shown to be invalid. Suicide and its prognostication is covered as well as narcotic addiction and other disorders such as hyperphagia, anorexia, and dystonia musculorum deformans. 1 study is cited, based on an investigation of 120 children born as a result of the mothers being refused an abortion, suggesting that early rejection rather than early bereavement contributes to a higher risk of psychiatric difficulties in later life.
