Psychiatrists and statewide health coordinating councils are products of widely disparate cultures, yet they share the goal of providing the highest quality patient care, and to achieve it they must work together. The author describes the functions of statewide coordinating councils, the cultural influences that make it difficult for psychiatrists and coordinating councils to work together effectively, and his own experiences as a member of the coordinating council in Massachusetts. He emphasizes the need for psychiatrists to become more actively involved in planning efforts if they are to have an impact on the delivery of mental health services, serve the needs of their patients, and retain control of the future of their profession.
精神病医生和州级健康协调委员会产生于截然不同的文化背景，但他们都有提供最高质量患者护理的目标，为实现这一目标，他们必须携手合作。作者描述了州级协调委员会的职能、导致精神病医生和协调委员会难以有效合作的文化影响，以及他自己作为马萨诸塞州协调委员会成员的经历。他强调，如果精神病医生想要对心理健康服务的提供产生影响、满足患者需求并掌控本行业的未来，就需要更积极地参与规划工作。
