Rebalancing academic psychiatry: why it needs to happen - and soon

Arthur Kleinman. Br J Psychiatry. 2012 Dec.

Abstract

Academic psychiatry is in trouble, becoming the narrowest of biological research approaches of decreasing relevance to clinical practice and global health. What is required is a rebalancing of the psychiatric academy to include greater support for researchers conducting social, clinical and community studies within a broad, more humanistic biosocial framework.
