What s often referred to as bedside manner in medicine is really a reflection of the doctor s professionalism. This is especially true in psychiatry, where issues like countertransference can come into play. In Professionalism in Psychiatry, the authors seek to define the factors that influence professionalism and address principles that are now part of the core curriculum for medical students, psychiatry residents, educators, and practicing clinicians. The interface between ethics and professionalism is charted, including ethical issues related to research, fundraising, and the relationship between psychiatrists and pharmaceutical companies. The authors also review how the principles of professionalism can be applied to gender, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Professionalism in Psychiatry is a must read for any educator or professional wanting to better understand the relationship between professionalism, ethics, and the avoidance of boundary violations.

Review

Dr. Gabbard and his colleagues call our attention to a key issue in psychiatry professionalism, one of the six core competencies in residency training for psychiatrists defined as The body of qualities or features, as competence, skill, etc., characteristic of a professional. This text is chocked full of pearls on boundaries in physical contact; self-disclosure; cyberspace; balancing altruism with self-care; sensitivity to race, culture, gender, and sexual orientation; etc. that every psychiatrist needs to take to heart and practice to be worth their salt. --Carl C. Bell, M.D., President/C.E.O. Community Mental Health Council, Acting Director, Institute for Juvenile Research and Professor, Department of Psychiatry and School of Public Health, Chicago, IL
