Abstract
Because of the predictions of partial obsolescence for psychiatry as a profession and because of the increasing pressures of government, third-party payers, and a patient population that will no longer blindly follow physicians, psychiatrists must face the demands for professional accountability. The author suggests that to maintain high-quality care and continuing self-governance, psychiatrists must participate actively in self-assessment and continuing education programs.Keywords
