The boundaries of
Psychiatry. There is debate as to the role of Psychiatry in treating disorders of addiction.Psychiatrists are often involved because no other branch of medicine is interested or concerned; but the "medical model" is not so readily accepted and treatment is often unsuccessful. People with Personality disorders are not seen to be the problem of psychiatry. The problems are not treatable in the conventional medical sense. Psychiatrists are often asked to play a custodial rather than therapeutic role which is resented. |
