Psychology for the General Practitioner [1948]

I have assumed that this Swampscott Conference has selected the "Humanizing of the Physician's Training" as its major topic and come to some reasonable closure on it. There is one other important and broader problem relating to the behavioral sciences (raised by various conferees) still left for consideration. It can perhaps be dealt with by a conference which considers the medical school as part of the total university (the problem placed before us so cogently in the discussion at this Conference by Ralph Wedgwood.) Behavioral science could in this context be considered in both its aspects as a basic science for medicine, as well as in its applied aspects.
