ABSTRACT
PSYCHIATRY IS mostly thought of as being concerned with the individual. Research has been concentrated on how individual patients behave, the intricate psychological mechanisms in each individual, and the metabolic anomalies or tissue changes that accompany and underlie his disturbed conduct. In this, psychiatry has of course been following the main stream of medicine. Pathology, whether it be psychopathology or cellular and chemical pathology, has been looked for inside the patient’s body and mind.
