Abstract
The reviewer of recent developments in psychiatric education and training cannot escape from a sense of frustration engendered by the lack of precision in this subject. In an account of the study of medical education, Miller (1969) has classified articles emerging from medical schools and hospitals into three broad categories the impressionistic, the taxonomic and the investigative. An impressionistic study depends largely on the personal experience of a teacher, sometimes supplemented by a questionnaire designed in such a way as to tend to confirm all-too-readily formed generalizations. Such a study can still be useful if it is a prelude to a more searching enquiry, but by itself its limitations are considerable. Most reports on psychiatric teaching are of this kind. The taxonomic study is one concerned with the minutiae of a particular educational programme, and correlations between variables such as student characteristics and their academic performance. Though useful, a taxonomic study is unlikely to lead to practical improvements in the educational programme. The investigative study is formulated like a scientific experiment and is based on a hypothesis to be tested. Its outcome should ideally lead to educational change whose effect can in turn be measured. Researchers into psychiatric education have in recent years turned away from the first type and towards the second type of study, but investigative studies remain something of a rarity. It must therefore be conceded that psychiatric educational science is still in its infancy.
