Indian J Psychiatry. 1999 Jan;41(1):19-23.
The year 1997 is a historic year on many counts. It is on the one hand the Golden Jubilee year of our Nation, as also of the Indian Psychiatric Society. Our meeting here today is a historic event which marks an important epoch in the development in this field of specialisation - as it is the first ever meeting of Military Psychiatry section of Indian Psychiatric Society.However the world of today has moved far from the ideals which we upheld on our path which brought us to this important point. Unfortunately, moral and ethical values have deteriorated across the body politic. Apprehension of this state affecting our profession also, has prompted me to speak today on the subject of, "Prevention of Misuse of Psychiatry in the Armed Forces".
1997 年在许多方面都是具有历史意义的一年。这一年既是我们国家的金禧年，也是印度精神病学会的金禧年。我们今天在这里举行的会议是一个历史性的事件，标志着这个专业领域发展中的一个重要里程碑——因为这是印度精神病学会军事精神病学分会的第一次会议。然而，当今世界已经远离了我们在这条道路上所坚持的理想，这些理想使我们走到了这一重要的时刻。不幸的是，道德和伦理价值观在整个政治领域都恶化了。对这种状况影响我们职业的担忧也促使我今天就“防止精神病学在武装部队中被滥用”这一主题发言。
