Extract

The effective teaching of Psychiatry to medical students remains a formidable problem for many reasons apart from the actual methods employed by the teacher. Allocation of adequate time to the subject, the attitude of other teachers and students towards it, the facilities provided by local hospitals, clinics and other institutions alike contribute to the difficulty in establishing Psychiatry as a major subject within the medical curriculum. It is with the problem of teaching method alone that this paper wishes to deal: first to outline the inherent difficulties commonly encountered; secondly to describe the design of structures and equipment found useful in overcoming these difficulties in some measure; and thirdly to point the way for possible future development.
