This stimulating collection bears witness to the insight that psychiatrists, with their special training and background and concern for human relationships, can contribute solutions to major problems of public affairs and public policy. The contributors represent the summation and distillation of the best thinking of psychiatry's leaders. They represent a variety of experiences and viewpoints, making possible a many-faceted approach to problems of national and international concern.
Based on completely documented reports of individual members and symposium discussions, Psychiatry and Public Affairs examines four major areas of public interest: the social responsibility of psychiatry, emphasizing the psychiatric aspects of school desegregation; psychiatry's role in international relations and understanding cross-cultural communication and working abroad; studies of forceful indoctrination or "brainwashing" and the social and psychiatric implications of the threat of nuclear war.
