Abstract

Practicing psychiatrists who began the residency program at the Neuropsychiatric Institute at the University of Illinois over a fourteen year period (1959 through 1972) were surveyed. Demographic, economic and family background data were collected. Retrospective data about motivations for studying medicine and specialization in psychiatry were obtained. Questions were addressed such as did personal or family experience with psychiatric illness influence persons to enter this field; was there a need to solve personal problems; was there a profit or prestige motive? We wondered what effect two conflicting theoretical orientations—psychoanalytic and community psychiatry—had on the type of practice chosen.
