Personal perspectives on teaching

Good treatment follows from good assessment. From the perspective of their extensive medical training, Residents in psychiatry find good ways to help their patients. Better still when they consider solutions to their patients’ difficulties from the perspective of the person, with his or her unique motivations. Both biological and psychological interventions work better when integrated.
