Career Pathways in Psychiatry

In the light of health care reform and other forces affecting clinical practice, it is more important than ever that psychiatrists have information about the career options within their speciality. "Career Pathways in Psychiatry" serves that purposes. It explores the professional development and career choices of prominent American psychiatrists, each of whom is identified with a particular career track and many of whom have themselves experienced one or more career transitions. The engaging autobiographical accounts of the contributors survey a wide range of career pathways, including clinical practice, HMO practice, research, administration, entrepreneurism, psychoanalysis, organized medicine, the pharmaceutical industry, public psychiatry, occupational psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, and military psychiatry.
