Bookmarked for future reference.

Any other particular recommendations?

Read Yalom's The Gift of Therapy. It's more slanted to therapists than psychiatrists, but still very relevant.

Like it, OPD.

Fantastic article, thanks for sharing this. Reading it makes me feel grateful to all my teachers past and present, and glad that they aren't the only ones sharing these things.

I really enjoyed reading that blog OldPsychDoc, thank you. Any other advice from Psychiatrists for soon-to-be interns or already practicing residents?

Wow, that's incredibly actionable advice! Thank you for the share.

Has anybody heard of or read The Last Psychiatrist?

Brilliant article!

And now I want to read that book nitemagi recommended (I so need to book a trip to the library). I've been reading some of David Mann's work of late as well, at least what limited amounts I can get hold of, fascinating insights into the therapeutic process and alliance from both sides of the table.

Is he still blogging? He used to get linked pretty regularly on here. But it's been awhile.

No, I stumbled across that blog a little late. Although the blogger never poses solutions to the problems presented, I love the cynicism and style.

Thanks for sharing, awesome post - particularly for those of us getting ready to start training in a few months.
