Abstract

Psychiatry has always been a medical discipline, but was this development inevitable, and will it always be this way? The profession has changed so much since so-called alienists treated their alienated patients up to the 19th century, when psychiatry as a term emerged. Changes in diagnostic practices, investigations, and therapeutic interventions"”pharmacological, psychological, and social"”have brought psychiatric practice out of asylums and into the community in many countries, but not universally. Early intervention has gone from being an intriguing innovation to standard practice in many countries. However, delivery of these services depends upon resources available, and in many countries around the world such services remain aspirations.
