[Current and prospective questions in psychiatry].

In order to establish relations appropriate to therapy between pathogenesis and pathoplastics of psychic disturbances, the psychiatrist requires a general medical education overlapping on many marginal fields. Topically and prospectively, psychiatry is faced with, for example, the following tasks: development of new conceptions of genetics, interdisciplinary research of early cerebral damage, of the systemic factor of psychosis and the psychosocial releasing factor, cutting of the dwelling time at a hospital, community-supported treatment and after-care. Availability of specialised establishments for oligophrenia and socially endangered persons. Construction of socially integrated care systems. Institutional and personal equality with other special fields.
