Can poetry help us become better psychiatrists?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Abstract
Learning medicine and psychiatry is a moral as well as an intellectual challenge. Successful training in psychiatry can lead to significant personality maturation. Using poetic examples, the paper explores aspects of emotional development relevant to the traditional values of dynamic psychiatry. Such values are contrasted with those of the prevailing bureaucracy.
