Description
Psychiatry is not merely a branch of general medicine - it has a history and present configuration that is otherwise totally unique in
medicine. But in the past fifty years the scope of psychiatry has moved far beyond the old institutional basis even as it is ever more
enriched by developments in general medicine. This issue surveys not the "content" of psychiatric sciences, but the "processes" by which
our care for millions of suffering human beings is being dramatically reshaped, despite many setbacks, generally for the better. These
diverse qualitative and technical trends range from changing models of service delivery and finance, increased focus on quality innovations
in education and workforce development, telehealth and electronic records, among many others. Each and all will touch the individual
practitioner and affect every component of the health system with increasing benefit to care of patients and society at large.
