Contrary to popular opinion, there are now more psychiatrists in public service than ever before. Psychiatrists' contributions in this area have been masked by a decreasing growth in the total number of psychiatrists, the simultaneous expansion of other mental health disciplines, and the proliferation of mental health treatment facilities. The authors examine the reasons for the decline in the over-all growth of the profession and describe some new federal initiatives to encourage more American medical graduates to specialize in psychiatry and to work in traditionally underserved areas in the public sector.
与普遍看法相反，现在从事公共服务的精神科医生比以往任何时候都多。精神科医生在这一领域的贡献被精神科医生总数增长的下降、其他心理健康学科的同步扩张以及心理健康治疗设施的激增所掩盖。作者研究了该行业总体增长下降的原因，并描述了一些新的联邦举措，以鼓励更多美国医学毕业生专攻精神病学，并在公共部门传统上服务不足的地区工作。
