This is unfortunate because most psychiatry resident interns feel that they are finally among the group where they belong… like-minded physicians who share a fascination with human nature and a desire to grasp all the nuances and complexities of human behavior. This paper provides a framework for psychiatry departments to train residents along a continuum of psychological mindedness. The authors explain the concept of psychological mindedness, explore the pros and cons of acquiring psychological mindedness, and a scientific basis for its use in general psychiatry. A new model is included to capture any resident’s ability to become psychologically minded, with direction for Program Director’s to possibly develop growth in a resident’s psychological mindedness over four years of training.展开更多
