Abstract
In an era when non-psychiatric physicians are increasingly aware of their need for at least a rudimentary knowledge of psychology, medical schools are making belated attempts to remedy the situation.
The effort described here succeeded because “the students did not seem to view the course as one about ‘crazy people.’ Thus, they did not distance themselves from the course material and patients.... One student said, ‘This was a course about everybody—about what people have to do to live in the world.’”
